Lots of stones

Melissa just got out of the hospital for the second surgery in two weeks. Melissa had her gall bladder yanked or if it makes you feel better you can say removed. Anywho, the surgeon said the gall balder need to come out because it was full of stones. Travis asked the surgeon for the stones and voila (see picture) a bag of stones arrived. The pathologist broke a few for reasons unbeknown to us. Melissa and Travis counted the stones and depending on how you count the broken ones came up with at least 12 BIG STONES. We are not sure how Melissa was not in much more pain. According to wikipedia, the gall bladder is 3 to 4 inches long. Travis is threatening to have a bracelet made out of the stones. We put a dime to give reference to the size of the stones.
