Some of us are very sick and have been for a long time. And we would like to take this opportunity to whine about it. If you don't want to listen, don't read on.
What are we sick with, you might ask? Well, gall stones, in point of fact.
And possibly something else. I am getting a visit to another specialist (provided my insurance can start sucking less and get me an appointment) and a second opinion on surgery since the first surgeon went from "Why are you darkening my door?" to "You need to get your gall bladder out right now!" a little too quickly for my tastes. (I also really didn't like him.)
What does this mean for all of you? Well, mostly, less of me. Sadly, I am easily exhausted. I also feel like a midget or a toddler has been walking around on my ribcage and my kidneys.
The worst part is actually the fact that I look fine. I can be fine one minute, and then the next, not so much (though today I was told that I look tired and wasn't I feeling any better yet? Uh, no. It's not like a cold. They have to do something before I'm going to feel better). So, if you don't get how I can be at a lawn party one minute and too sick to call anybody the next, rest easy; you're not alone.
It's too bad for you, but you're not alone. ;)
It's not really that big of deal; it's a very successful surgery, and I don't think I even have to stay overnight if that's what I end up doing. I'll be out of work for at least 2 weeks, maybe 3.
That may have been TMI for some of you, but oh well. Those of you who read probably need the update. I've been meaning to send an email... but... well... I am going to go to bed instead.
