In the meantime, I had a date in the operating theatre myself. I was due for my annual colonoscopy, so yey! *sarcasm* This means I just spent the last 24 hours without food and I'm now grumpy!
Lani picked me up from North Shore Private this afternoon after an all-thumbs-up from the gastro (pun intended). No polyps or lesions found, which makes me 5 years in remissions, so I'm officially cured! Real Yey! Time to celebrate!
Now here's the catch. My procedure was at 1pm, so I spent the morning waking around Chatswood Shopping Centre to relax myself. Work called because there was a critical situation with one of our websites so I had to quickly go to the office and attend to it. I managed to do some fault-finding but wasn't able to resolve the issue because I had to leave at 12:15pm for my hospital admission. After waking up from recovery, Lani and I headed back to the office at 3pm and I went back to resolving the issue. Fortunately, I managed to fix it by 5pm.
It was pretty ironic that the hospital discharge form I signed stated I shouldn't make important decisions nor operate machinery after my procedure, yet there I was rummaging though thousands of lines of codes and deploying applications to production systems within minutes of waking up from general anesthesia. I guess being numb made me less affected by pressure and stress. Give me more!
