Well, I had my cryosurgery last Thursday. I will spare you all the details, but it was not pleasant. I felt pretty horrible that day and the next, so I stayed home from work. Unfortunately, I have developed an infection which is driving me crazy. I've got medicine, but it's not working much. So, basically, I am at work, in pain every day. I couldn't fall asleep last night because of the pain so I took a Darvocet and a glass of wine to get me to fall asleep (I never have trouble falling asleep). The doctor said the recovery time is 2 weeks. I have 18 days until my vacation, and I hope to God I feel better by then, otherwise I will be miserable. I'm mad at myself because if I had known I was going to feel this bad, I would have postponed the surgery until after my vacation. I had this vacation planned for over a year, and I don't want it to be ruined. I'm uncomfortable and cranky, so much so that Mark wants to see me this weekend, and I don't even want him to come over (totally not like me). I don't want to be around anyone. I wouldn't even be at work if I didn't have to be here. Plus, I'm starting to get nervous because I'm running out of time here at work. Only 18 days until my vacation, and even if I work every weekend until I leave, I still probably won't get everything done. Panic attack time.
Sorry to be such a donwer. I just had to let this out. Mark has tried to be so supportive, but he just can't understand the kind of pain I'm in because he's a man. I know he wants to see me to cheer me up, but I'm so miserable right now, I don't see it even working. Besides, I really should work a couple hours on Saturday afternoon (yuck). I swear I'll have a nervous breakdown before I ever get on my vacation.

Hey there
I'm sorry this is turning out to be such a long, hard recovery. But please, please do not go into work this weekend. Whatever it is that "has" to get done, it isn't worth it. You think the place will fall apart if you don't go in for that couple of hours? We'd all like to think so, huh. But seriously, if you wear yourself down and you make it worse, then you'll end up not getting to work next week and then you'll be in a worse place. Take the weekend and rest!!!! Then hopefully you'll be feeling better come Monday and by your vacation you will be 100% again. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
