Update

I was planning on taking my two vacation weeks one right about now and the other during the holidays. Instead, I took one when my grandmother passed away and the second now for surgery. Bleh.

I'm having the cone biopsy done on Monday. Tomorrow is pre-op stuff, and Mom will be my chauffeur on Monday. I decided rather than have two days at no pay (although I only took three days off with my grandmother's passing, so I've technically already been paid for it) I would just go ahead and take the full week. disgruntledgrrl's twin siblings are coming into town this weekend and staying the week. While my cash flow is limited, I'll at least still be able to hang out with them a bit more this way. This will also give me at least a few days of the Spring Vacation time I was hoping for. There's still a lot of cleaning and such that I'm working on, and not having full work days to work around might help with the progress.

I'm making arrangements to drop my car off with the mechanic Sunday after class so that they can play with the oil and tires while I'm not going to need it on Monday. I'm hoping I'll also be able to get it over to Caliber Collision who did the body work after the carport fell on it. There's still a seal not properly sealed on the passenger door that always makes it sound like the window isn't rolled up completely when driving a little fast. Every passenger I've had has tried to mess with it because it's that annoying.

So, would anyone like to make lunch or dinner dates for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday? I'll be free.

Huh. Back in the day, when I had my cone biopsy, it was called a "procedure" rather than a surgery. And as such, was done in the basic exam room, no frills - NO GODDAMN ANESTHESIA. Except that bullshit numbing spray - THAT IS NOT NUMBING. And when I cried - not boo-hoo-hoo but the biting your lip dripping tears thing because it FUCKING WELL HURT - the doctor told me to "stop being a baby."

Color yourself lucky to be getting yours treated as an actual "surgery". Now when I had the laser surgery, that was an entirely different thing - I got the real drug drip, and Stewart said that they started it, and told me to count backwards from 10 - apparently I got to "7" and was out for the count. Now THAT'S the good shit, man.

Hope they give you the good drugs - as for them by name!

If they would shave $2-3k off the final bill, I'd happily go without the anesthesia and cry like a baby. As it is, I'm still crying.

Holy mother of FUCK it's that expensive?!?! Really? Seriously?

[trickykitty]

Yes - and that's with my insurance.

If that's not a reason to cry, I don't know what is. Man, I'm really sorry. Le suck.
