Surgery is over. I am fine, but bitterly disappointed...

I chose having my gall bladder out over seeing my Halos play next month (not enough paid time off to do both). I'm in a fair bit of pain, but I have percocet, and it's helping.

I am deeply disappointed that we had to cancel our mini-vacation to Baltimore to see the Angels.

I appreciate those of you who weighed in on my "decisions, decisions" thread, as well as those who offered their support on facebook.

DU, besides being a great service to the liberal community, is a greatly supportive community, too. (And my thanks to the admins!)

A good friend of mine just had his removed and he felt SO much better in the days following. Hang in there. Here's hoping you get to see your team play sometime soon!!!

Here's also hoping some day we will have the ability to have time off for vacation as well as time off for medical needs without having to choose...
