What I had done to me this week and why

So, did *you* ever think you'd say to someone on the phone:
"No thank, you. I'd prefer to keep me 9:30 appointment. Ask someone *else* if they'd like to have their junk probed at godawful early in the morning."?

I didn't either.

Therein lies the tale.

( The tale, with some potential TMI )

All credit for my lack of any real suffering thru this process (including the times I was sick) goes to Sonya, who was there with any DVD I asked for, pillows, blankets, help getting up and down, comfort food, and comfort.
I'm sure I was far surlier and more whiny than she deserved for her efforts.
