Open Heart Surgery and NegativesPosted Sep-19-07 20:30:18 PDT Well, I had open heart surgery about 2 weeks ago, and now getting back into selling after being off and screwing some stuff up and getting 3 negatives. sigh. I was born with a bad heart valve, but we just found out last year. The surgery went great. I have the best doc ever, Dr.Accola. He opened me up on my right side under my breast. No visible scars. Thats awesome! I have done modeling ever since I was 12, so I was scared of the scar being a zipper in the middle of my chest. But before i was admitted into the hospital, i was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I mixed up two orders, got a negative. Then a negative from an unhappy customer and a rusted part, that i clearly stated was rusting and needed to be rechromed. O well. i guess thats what life gives you. But I am back, and hope to not make the same mistakes. Even after doing this for so long, you would think i couldnt make a mistake, but i do! my dad had to handle contacting the people cuz i couldnt even go to the bathroom without dragging a huge IV thingie and drainage suitcases. It was narly, but it makes me stronger. well, hope i could entertain you. haha |
