downdate

on sunday jason came up to bed complaining of stomach pain.  i heaved a heavy sigh because three weeks ago similar pains sent him to the ER in the middle of the night*.  that's right, the emergency room.  that's right, i'm talking about jason (not myself). 
reluctant to sit in another ER for 4 hours, he gave himself a few minutes to see if it would pass.  luckily we are currently at my parents' house, living with a very good doctor.  angelique sent us to the emergency room.  and...
jason has gallstones.  he handled the pain pretty well but it looked terrible (email me for details).  he still isn't back on his feet.  anyone know a good NYC gallbladder surgeon?  we want that nasty thing out before it strikes again.
*the sigh was also me feeling the need for some self preservation (aka being selfish).
**a downdate is like an update but with really downer type news.

Oh Erica, I'm so sorry! I like the term downdate - fits perfect. We're praying for you guys. Please let us be your neighbors and do something for you.

Can't stand the thought of that kind of pain for Jason. Downdate it is, but you, Erica, will need some serious R & R very soon. Nothing selfish about it - you've earned it and then some. Jason too.

Just when you thought you'd seen enough of hospitals.... So sorry, Jason! I hope that you feel better soon.
