After the commotion over, Patrick started scheduling the surgery. feeling a toward me, he scheduled the surgery for first after confirming that my were barely adequate. I did not know if lucky charm had really worked. originally said the chances for the to be a were since it was a second but this went really well. Clearly, using some of luck allowed live a little longer. I suddenly felt grateful that Leonard came to upset today. If he had been too kind to I might died sooner. When I was in the ICU, the amount of pain I felt was excruciating. Although it my surgery, it hurt more the first. Maybe it was because I no one about me. During first surgery in Manovia, at least my mother was by my side. I couldn’t help but cry at thought of her. If had listened to what she back then, would she lived a little longer? The nurse who monitoring me gently wiped my tears me softly. “The surgery was successful today.
