You know it's going to be a bad day when...

your doctor says "I'm sorry."

A little over a year ago when I returned to my surgeon after having had surgery, the first words out of his mouth were, "I'm sorry." What followed were numerous doctors visits, procedures and operations, and what I thought would be done and over in a matter of weeks turned into almost an eight month process. Through no fault of my surgeon, I had developed complications, and he was going to do his best to find the causes and fix the problems. In the end he has done just that.

Since the ordeal, I have recuperated and feel as good as ever, and I can say that it's been worth it to be able to enjoy the foods that were under dietary restrictions due to the condition originally causing the need for the operation.
