Dear Diary, I’m 10 days post op and I feel better than I expected. I’ve always had a high tolerance for pain and healed well. After my tonsils my surgeon called me Wolverine because I never experienced the horrible healing that many patients have. This time is no different.

Dear Diary, T-minus 3 days…I have my out of office replies on and I’m still checking emails. I need to stop and I know but I can’t. It’s a sick sick compulsion.

Dear Diary, I’ve made an effort to always remain positive in these posts but today I’m going the opposite way. I feel like as the countdown to surgery continues the more shit is giving me anxiety.
