Dear Martin,
Here are my blood counts from December 6 last year and the blood counts for today's gallstones. If everything goes well regarding covid, they want to operate on me on October 1, they can't say for sure.
They want to do a laparotomy like you recommended to me. This is done at the state hospital in Phetchabun as it is the nearest another hospital is 175 km away.
I will keep you informed and if you can give any advice I will certainly get to work with it.
Thanks for your contribution,
Regards,
D.

Dear D,
The blood values are OK, also compared to December. That's reassuring.
October 1 is already eight weeks away. So not that long. Until then, try not to eat any fat, including chocolate. Alcohol is also not beneficial. Do drink a lot.
Sincerely,
Dr. Maarten
