It had to be done! in fact was Overdue.
I had broken my own Baseball Philosophy in the process,
(3 strikes and yer out)
but am fortunate enough to have a wife, mom, aunt, grandfather...
who cared enough to bring it up. repeatedly.

you cannot throw a band aid on this every morning. that is NOT ok.

medically, back to square one, if you can believe it
(plus bills aka debt of 2k for the hospital and 2k for the surgeon)
research was done in the beginning:
percentage of recurrence was on the table from day 1.
feelings now are thus:
we've thrown the Gold Plan at it,
threw a Hail Mary right on first down
due fucking diligence
cold truth is that it failed
"that's why they call it Practicing medicine" - Mom said
I fantasized about saying this with snark to the surgeon,
but never mustered the courage.

what now?
something less than more surgery
something In Between
