It is Monday, March 7th, and I am v. excited about my trip. On Friday night I had a dull pain in my upper right abdomen and scheduled an appointment to visit Dr. Negative. Dr. Negative informed me that I am having gall bladder problems and will most likely need to have it removed "before your trip to Europe" (said in a very evil voice).

You hear about these types of coincidences in the newspaper but...Why me?

If I need to have the surgery before I leave, I will simply push out my departure date and will only stay there for...oh...5 weeks. The Rolling Stones aren't keeping this girl from seeing the world.
