weirdnesses of modern medicine
I really admire Dr. Prins. He doesn't care about lawsuits or appearances, he knows he's a good doc so he just tells it like it is: "you didn't have ANY bad cells in this chunk of stuff we cut out of you." Great. And I haven't even paid the bills yet, or recovered from the asthmatic effects of the pain meds. Hmmm. So, are the bad cells somewhere else, did we miss 'em? Or, did I cure myself before showing up for surgery Monday morning? I'm pissed that the surgery may have been unnecessary, but working to balance that out with the lessons I'm learning: stay away from Ibuprofen, that I'm asthmatic even though I've never expressed symptoms before, and that when you have hours to kill at home in bed, you can start a blog and read weird books a few pages at a time. Oh wait, I already knew that last bit.

Weird medicine or not, I'm glad you're recovering and that Dr. Prins did't find ANY bad cells. And congratulations on writing "a thing or two." Your storytelling gifts have found a new venue.
