Figured that I haven't been spending enough of my time with Doctors and hospital stays so I went up to see my surgeon today about continual pain. Had another CBC done (apparently nothing was bad since they didn't call me) and am scheduled for an outpatient procedure next week. He wanted to do it tomorrow, but as I am 'holding down the fort' while everyone else is at the Marriott for the Veterinary Conference that couldn't happen. So I am going in for it next Friday. So that means Thursday (as prep) and Friday I am missing work once again....sigh.

That is, if I can wait that long. The pain in my side which was more of an annoyance is actually giving me chills, restlessness and the need to whine. Heavy breathing for pain is never as fun as heavy breathing for pleasure. I just need to get through the weekend like this and then who cares. The other downside is that because I have to work tomorrow (meaning I can't go up to the ER for some of their fun IV drugs) I also can't use anything I have at home for my other medical issue because i would never be able to get out of bed tomorrow, let alone count cash and smile at people. 

At 25 I have way too many health issues. 7 abdominal laparoscopic surgeries, a knee surgery, gall bladder removed, IBD, environmental illness, endometriosis, a broken pelvis and femur which still cause pain years later and probably a few dozen ER visits for pain. i know there are a lot of people who have it worse off, but some days I think that if I could lose my leg and get rid of all this pain I would saw it off with a spork,....tell me that wouldn't be painful and difficult.

I.O.N: Boss took my resignation rather well. Said she appreciates my professionalism and letter and we shall start looking for my replacement. So much of me is excited to be leaving and moving forward with my life, but there is that little sliver that is going to miss the place and tells me I am making the wrong decision. I guess we'll see.
