Just had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder. Not the best way to celebrate Easter...


Good luck.

Prognosis not-so-good for author Iain (M) Banks - diagnosed with gall bladder cancer.

I saw this on facebook same day i left the hospital.
Banks (along with Tim Powers) is at the top of my list for science fiction and fantasy...

Very depressing discovery...

Mind you when my dad had his removed I went to the hospital to pick him up to be told he had left. When I arrived home he was in the driveway changing the starter in my car.

Hope it goes that well for you cause my current car needs a brake job.
