I can be such a dork sometimes.Ive been insisting that my procedure wasnt surgery as it didnt involve any incisions, staples, sutures, etc. therefore it wasn't that big of a deal. Others continued to call it surgery, so I being the geek that I am, I looked up the term "surgery" in Wiki lo and behold, the procedure doesnt have to involve incisions, staples,sutures, etc.. to be considered surgery.Sheesh - how's THAT for denial!
Ok this gives me permission to lay around for a few more days than I had initially allowed myself to.LOL - I really DON'T know everything!
I remember how astonished I was when I realized that I was consistently hearing MORE IDEAS in alanon than I had thought of on my own! Even when I was trying!
And then - the reLIEF - I don't HAVE to think of everything, because I have this fellowship to use as a resource. They will always be able to come up with more possibilities than I can imagine; so if there comes a time when I need possibilities, I can go to the possibility-store (alanon); meanwhile, I do NOT have to figure out every possibility for every moment of my life, because a) I'll miss some stuff, and b) many situations end up not needing a phalanx of possibilities. One little old plan B to take care of myself is enough.
Well done. PLUS you were able to laugh at yourself! Now that's growth!
You're not the only dork!! That is funny. What did you call it if it wasn't a surgery in your mind? I guess I was under the same impression if there was not cutting, etc., it wasn't a surgery.
