on the dynamics of "ow"
monday, early - around 5 am, pain hit me - tore me in 2, it seemed. spent all day fighting it, that afternoon, i had endured enough, went to the hospital. this turned out to be the right move.
after all the rigamarole of the triage and waiting room, the tests and ultrasound revealed that my gall bladder was about to explode. surgery. good drugs. missing time (i was under for 2.5 hours) sore. nauseated. throat hurts (intubated) but i'm ok.
i'm really ok. the pain now is good pain. healing pain.
i guess sometimes life says, "hi, time for a massive about face." :)
i've learned that there is pain worse than face pain. i've learned that surgery isn't scary. and i've learned that i have really, really deep veins and that i never want to have an IV again.
hope everyone else's week went a lot better.
