One step forward, two steps back
So the reason I haven’t blogged much of any substance lately is because healthwise, I seem to be regressing from late post-op complications. At first, I was taking good strides forward and hit a setback here and there, which is to be expected. Now, 5 weeks post-op, I’m facing some issues that I thought were well over weeks ago, so much so that I’m seeking medical attention in a few hours. It sucks not being able to continue/finish a wonderful story that I so energetically started, of all things because the story hasn’t even ended! Maybe that’s a pre-requisite to starting a damn personal story in the first place…
Anyway, just wanted to drop a quick note…I’ll see what the doctors say, and hopefully I’ll be back sooner than later. Until then, please don’t lose faith in me and put down the fork–I’m not done yet.

I hope you are okay! I’m patiently waiting for your tale of being a patient.

Yeah, being a patient definitely sucks. Been there done that and,
hopefully, it will be a while before I have to go back through it all
again. So, hang in there, mon ami.
Ok, this is the first time I’ve blogged here ( just came across your
site today ) and , I should tell you right now how much I admire your
coming out and sharing your experiences openly.
I was also an American studying Medcine at a Mexican Medical Faculty
back in the now-distant past and , at that time, there was no such thing
as blogs, so, I find this site kind of amazing if not a bit nostalgic.
I eventually made this foreign medical thing work out for me, and,
as I go over the blogs here and post my comments, maybe I can
shed some light on how I did that. Just understand, its not the exact
same process or outcome for everybody. The one common factor being
you have to really want to make it happen and be willing to sacrifice on
a lot of fronts.
