Hi girls,
Just wanted to give a quick update on the status of my health. I had my thyroid surgery performed this week, and the operation was successful. I'm still waiting for the results on the malignancy of the nodule, and waiting to remove the stitches on my neck. Now that I'm off on morphine and refusing to take pain killers, there's minor to moderate pain and discomfort around my neck area. Luckily, I get 3 weeks off to recover and rest.
This experience has been somewhat emotional; but fortunately, Phil's been extremely supportive the entire time, he has accompanied me to every single appointment and surgery, and has constantly reassured me that he would still be with me even if I become a bald, dying cancer patient. When I stayed at the hospital overnight after my surgery, he was sleeping in the waiting room hobo style (newspaper as blanket and water bottle as pillow). His broken foot (result of baseball) has also added to the discomfort of his sleeping arrangement. However, Phil was a trouper and limped his way over to visit me in my room throughout the night.
I really appreciate Phil by my side during this tough time, and I feel like an ungrateful bitch for badmouthing him all the time. I shouldn't call him derogatory names just because he isn't as successful as my brother. Realistically, there isn't many people our age that could make 6-7 figures, so I really shouldn't be so hard on Phil.
Anyways, I'm just rambling on because I'm bored and can't move. I'll see you girls at Thi's wedding. Phil will be attending the wedding too, he's going to skip his family vacation so I don't have to go solo.

Glad your surgery was successful. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Don't be so hard on yourself about Phil, at least you know now and appreciate him. That's what counts! Happy for you!
Hope you get more good news soon.
I'm glad the surgery went well! I hope you feel better soon. Any kind of surgery sucks so rest well during this time! =)
When I was reading about Phil in this entry, made me a little teary with happy tears. Hard times like these and he's by your side, shows that he's a keeper. Happiness is hard to come by. So you better grasp onto it before it slips away from you. And it also reminds me of a chinese saying: "wan lan geen jun ching". It translates as "real feelings/emotions are revealed during hardships".
Wish you a speedy recovery and we'll see each other soon! =)

It sucks that I read this comment after your news to me.
Simone, I'm praying that everything goes well. just think good thoughts. if you need anything at all just let me know. I'm off for 2 weeks after September 2nd.
Phil sounds like a really sweet guy but i don't blame you for being so hard on him before because you have a lot of pressure to please your parents to find that successful guy. but keep in mind, your happiness is the most important thing. I'm glad you have a great guy beside you during this tough time
