the bucket of cold water

Today we went to see the hemo doctors. Instead of them telling me something I didn't know, they nasically asked to recount what the surgeon had told me.

After I told my story, (sometimes I think they do it to make sure I know what I am getting into), the doctor proceeded to be Mr Pesimist... big downer. You all know the speech, don't get your hopes up, there are a million things that can go wrong. In other words, he was being the realist to the surgeons very optimistic view. Since I already know from the surgeon that a lot will depend on what they see when they go in, I am aware that everything is up for discovery.

so people... 7 days to go
