Waiting for the Procedure...

[fajrdrako]

Another 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.

I feel as if I'm letting down the CCA, when I wanted to prove how reliable & hard-working I am.

I think emergency surgery is a perfectly understandable & acceptable reason to take time off. :)

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.

*hugs* Hang in there, hopefully you'll be out of there before you know it!

I'm sure work won't think you're not reliable and hard-working because of this - suddenly needing surgery isn't something anyone can anticipate or plan for. It just happens sometimes.

All the best!

It's done, and now the drugs are wearing off I'm feeling happy & hungry. I don't know when they'll decide I can eat or drink - or leave!

Great news *hugs* Make the most of the chance to relax =)

I'm glad you were still alive the next day to be able to do that. Anaphylactic shock is a mystery to me: it seems to take different forms all the time.

Best avoided, for sure.

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.
