There must be a reason
I was really looking forward to seeing the surgeon this morning, because I just know from how I've been feeling that I need surgery soon. I went out to the car at 9am and the battery was dead - wouldn't even make a sound. The sign on the dashboard - "VSC" was showing. How I hate that electronic stuff - I would normally have thought "Oh, my battery is dead". But looking it up in my user guide I'm told to take my car to a Toyota dealer.I couldn't take it anywhere so I waited for AAA to send out a tow truck. It was the battery and the tow driver jump-started it so I could drive the mile over to Jesse's Neighborhood Garage. They installed a new battery and it looks like I'm good to go now, although I missed an important visit with the surgeon. It's been reset to December 6, which means that my holidays will truly be messed up.I had no other choice but to call the lab rescue people and cancel this weekend's date to meet the lab I so wanted to see. All around it's been a bummer and I can't do a thing to change it. I just have to keep in mind there is a reason for everything, and just accept what I can't change.The worst part of it is the discomfort I am going to suffer while waiting who knows how long until surgery. Thank god I have the gym to work off my frustrations.

Will It Ever Be Over?
I called Jeannie at about 12:30 am on Wednesday morning and asked her to drive me to the ER. They wanted to do surgery ASAP but couldn't once they learned I had been taking plavix (blood thinner). Evidently it is the worst of all the thinners...

Yay, The Weekend!
I don't know that it matters to me as I usually stay quiet on weekends and out of the way of those who work all week. This morning I decided I would do a bit of cleaning and had just started on the kitchen floor when I got a call from my primary...

Worse Than I Thought
I saw a specialist this morning who told me I have gallstones and need surgery. Unfortunately, some stones have migrated into the bile duct, and before he can operate, I have to have them "cleaned out" via an endoscopy. My worst nightmare...
