Major Surgery in Nine Days...
May. 25th, 2008 | 12:37 am
Last Thursday was my last normal day. The sun was shining, I was in California with the boyfriend I absolutely adore. We were going to Sushi Tomo, one of my favorite places to eat.
Friday morning, my life decided to dive straight into a rushing waterfall. The doctor called me and said there was a cancellation - I could either wait until 2009 for surgery, or be ready in two weeks. I had just two weeks to prepare to spend the next 2-3 months infirmed and recuperating.
I've been arranging this surgery for the better part of a year. I'd rather not talk about my medical health in direct terms on LJ, but I will say it's major, involves internal invasive surgery and is going to hurt like hell. It will take me at least 8 weeks to get back to work, and at least 12 to feel close to normal.
So, that's been the last week of my life - an emotional rocketship to the moon.
I want to thank everyone that responded to Frank Wu's calls for donations for this. The finances have been my biggest worry, and thanks to the help of family and friends I've gotten the better part of things arranged. I can't begin to communicate how much the support means to me.
I'll have a lot more to write about this soon, and especially as I'm spending the week in the hospital recovering.
