ELVES HAS YET TO LEAVE THE BUILDING!!!

Don't you go ahead and think I messed up the spelling on that one coz I did Not! Well if I had to opt for a surgery of any kind for the very 1st time in my life, it could not have been called anything less cool. ELVES or Endovenous Laser Therapy For Varicose Veins, is the one I got done(on both legs). It's relatively new and supposed to be easier on the person getting it done, coz the recovery period is much shorter than the conventional surgical method called "stripping". Naturally I had a lot of doubts and questions (being the 1st time and everything) so I asked the doctor about all the things that could possibly go wrong."There will be slight pain, if at all, as that is natural after any surgery, for which we will give you painkillers.Very rarely would there be any side effect.We will make you walk for 30 minutes immediately after" he said with a reassuring smile.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
It's been 2 weeks and 196 pills post surgery and i find myself freaking out outside the clinic of this other general surgeon, coz it's called "The Surgery" ...literally that ...quotes and italics and everything,right on top of the entrance door.....It ain't wrong, but hell it's definitely not reassuring. he he..it's like going to a restaurant called "The Food" !!!...........................................
Well to cut things short all I wanna say to you' ll ( which means the two of you) ............( Damn, I need more of an audience...) is that there is no such thing as a minor surgery!
nope...It's minor for the guy performing it, but definitely not for the guy lying down on that table. After all the fuss you're just like a THANKSGIVING TURKEY waiting to be sliced by the generous host :)
