All my doctors...

[fajrdrako]

When she visited yesterday, commodorified joked that since I'd been seen by eight doctors in two days, the next one would be the Ninth Doctor.

I met her this morning, another surgeon, Dr Wedman, who disappointingly bears no resemblance to Christopher Eccleston. This is maybe not disappointing to her, as he wouldn't be a pretty woman.

She had in tow six other doctors, students studying surgery, and asked if they could feel my gall bladder.

"Of course," I said co-operatively. But even though my gall bladder wasn't hurting when they started, after being thoroughly groped by seven doctors in order, it started to ache rather fiercely.

"This is supposed to be painful," said Doctor #15, looking puzzled as she pressed the spot.

"It does," I assured her sincerely. But only one of them made me flinch.

To think that a little while ago I wasn't even sure where my gall bladder was.

It wasn't the Ninth Doctor I was thinking about, but Ten, in the hospital bed in that episode that introduced Martha in her mob of student doctors.

Teaching hospitals. They're great, but you do get prodded a lot. Hope they warmed their hands first =S

Their fingers were mostly cold, I think, but I wasn't a good judge. I was freezing to death all the time I was in the hospital, and kept asking for more blankets - until the moment the surgery was over, and I was warm enough from then on. I guess being sick makes a person cold.

I think you do feel the cold more if you're ill, especially if you can't have anything to eat or drink to warm you up, or move around much to get the circulation going.

Still, it's over now and things are getting back to normal slowly. Glad you're steadily improving =)

[fajrdrako]

Yup, improving, and with some energy coming back.

It does take a while to get the energy back. It's not just the afer effects of the surgery, it's also the stress on your body before the surgery with all the pain and everything. Really knocks the stuffing out of you.

The best part is knowing you won't have to go through any of that again! All the best for a speedy recovery!

I have an appointment with my regular doctor today. I may even go in to work for an hour or so. And walk a little.

Sleepy, though.
