Including commute time- around 40 hours over4 weeks

The notification, admission, tests and surgery this time all done in 28 hours flat.

The anxiety (flashbacks etc) much worse than being here

I was given the 'airline hostess ' type talk on side effects, but this time mentioned strokes, death...and maybe needing to gouge out most of my little finger meat and putting a wire in. And maybe needing to do a deep skin harvest in the groin area- but alas, nay gentle readers- small graft near birthday dent, in until at least Monday

glad over
