(Click to Enlarge)Sorry I have neglected the blog this month. I had my gall bladder out. Now I'm not as much of a peach as I used to be. :(

Ahh, poor peach must feel all hollow inside. Hopefully she heals well and well be back to her usual peach antics soon.
The Horror!!! Please tell me the Peach's dimple (belly button) isn't seriously damaged.
Umm..it is a little early to tell about the peach dimple, but I think it will be okay. Now the other 3 scars are what worry me.
From what I hear the dimple has been producing some sweet peach juice, but it may also be cooking the peach from the inside out. Peach cobbler anyone?
Nick and I were discussing if there would be a "peach pit" comic for the surgery. I thought that the surgeon would have a butcher knife or something but that guy looks like he's on the level.
No knife. I try to keep the comic as accurate as possible. However there was 3 other cords that went in me for lighting and cameras and stuff. You know I think it will become an indie film. Oscars here I come!
So you're writing from the morgue???
well, If Al Gore can win an Oscar... Peach Surgery is deserving of at least a Golden Globe.
No I'm not in the morgue. I lied and said I was fine so they would let me go home.
Al Gore won a Oscar!? I'm glad I locked myself out of the house for that one.
Yeah Al Gore won an Oscar for of all things Global Warming. I've got a fix for global warming, build a power plant around Ms. Peach. She'll generate enough heat to power half of Atlanta
Poor, poor, poor Peach. I'm glad to hear that she's not actually in the morgue. Especially considering what the surgery entails...

So I've decided that the real question here is, Do you find Al Gore that scary that you'd rather be faced with the opossum rather than having to watch him except an Oscar?
Bring on the opossum. I'm ready.
Hey...I can use some HTML tags, such as...never mind. So I was wondering...if the pit isn't the problem, what else can they remove? Oh, and on a side not, what does a spleen look like?
wait, so al gore won an oscar AND invented the internet?!? I'm definately adding him to my list of five people dead or alive to have dinner with.
A recent question brought up by my friend Jo: What happens with you have part of your guts removed. Like people that have large sections of their intestines removed, a gall bladder or even a lung. Does it just fill up with fluid? Connective tissue? Do your guts just shift around?
Steph, from a fun semester in medical school anatomy lab here is my take on things. First off, as it pertains to the gall bladder its a pretty small organ and I doubt anything would notice its absence. However if larger organs are removed, everything is will pretty much stay where its ate, maybe hang a bit lower. Everything in the lower abdominal cavity (below the diaphragm and above the pelvis) is attached to a mesentery that helps everything hang in its appropriate place in the cavity without succumbing to the force of gravity and forcing it to compress your bladder. Under physiologic conditions there is no fluid in the cavity as a whole. So removing a large section of intestins, there might be a slight shifting of organs, but in general the other organs won't notice the open space.
So there's just a big BLACK HOLE inside of Erin??
Justin, after discussing the cavity question with my neighbor who had ovarian cancer and as a result had a full hysterectomy the question was raised about the lower abdemon. What happens when you don't have a uterus? When you have a hysterectomy do you still have a vagina?
In this case there is no separation from the cavity where the GI system resides and the pelvic cavity where the reproductive organs and bladder resides. The uterus is a rather small organ and so its removal does not leave much of a void in the abdominal cavity. After a hysterectomy you do still have a vagina, I'm not sure if they remove the cervix or not, but can certainly figure it out should inquiring minds like to know.
