    apparently he had gallbladder surgery, and then scrawled a suicide note on a movie ticket and jumped out of a window. people are commenting that they had similar feelings after their own gallbladder surgeries?

        Wow. I didn’t know this, and had mine removed in late 2019 and I really feel like I’ve never been quite the same.

          Not trying to pry but can you elaborate? Just curious what you mean/what it felt like

            I’ve just felt in a daze and had periods of deep depression since. I’ve been prone to it before, but things seem a bit different now.

            It’s difficult to rule out the pandemic and other factors though. 2020 was a stressful time, but I wonder if it woulda been a bit better with everything intact, now.

      When I had my gall bladder out I felt a great sense of relief and liberation that lasted months. For 10 years, once or twice a week, I’d had sudden intense pain that lasted hours, and now it was over.

      At the height of the pandemic, I was admitted to a hospital after a worse one had sent me home. I was delirious with pain, and was allowed no visitors. Once I got pain meds, I was confused from them. I couldn’t eat or drink anything, including water. It took them a week to determine that I needed my gallbladder out (some shortage with their nuclear medicine unit), and by then I was apparently also septic. Due to a mixup with my pain meds, it took an extra day to get into surgery. I missed giving the elegy for my father in law, and the whole episode is just a fuzzy kaleidoscope of pain. This was one year after fighting for days to get a kidney stone removed surgically, only to wake up in recovery with another one that no one would believe me about for another week, then having a stent for a month.

      I can fully understand jumping out a window in desperation.

      I’m a sample size of one, but I had my gallbladder removed late last year and I did not feel that way. And I have a lot of good reasons to.

    “Fandango” had my curiosity.

    “Fall from New York hotel” has my interest.
