Why I am not going to Pennsic

[ellid]

Warning: not for the faint of heart (or stomach):


I went to the doctor yesterday because of a non-life threatening but increasingly disruptive medical condition. I'd seen a general surgeon for this a couple of years ago and really, really disliked him and his approach, so I canceled the whole thing. Yesterday's doctor was a specialist, and after a talk with him and his nurse, I will be undergoing this procedure on July 12, 2010.

I'm not especially happy about this; I'll be out of work for about a week and a half, plus there's the whole pain/ick/debility factor. I've put it off long enough, though.

Thanks. What I'm dreading more than anything is that thanks to my sensitivity to codeine, they won't be able to give me enough painkillers to help right after the operation. *shudder*
