fajrdrakoAnother Doctor was in to press my abdomen this morning. I have forgotten her name already. I think she's Doctor #6. What happened to Tang and Yang?
She said that the Procedure-that-isn't-quite-surgery today will determine whether they need to remove my gall bladder.
And all I could think was: I need to go back to work! How long will this take?
I feel as if I'm letting down the CCA, when I wanted to prove how reliable & hard-working I am.

The sentiment, though, is one that I've shared in the past. The day after I almost died from an epinephrine-resistant anaphylactic reaction, I put in a full day at work.

I got a very understannding message from my boss almost mad me cry, because I feel they need me & I'm not there.
But hey, if I get my surgery today, it will all be over.

All the best!
