Because honey, you are gonna need it

So I tell my favorite PA/MA of my suspicions that I had herniated a disc. After hearing about the specifics of the new leg pain, she agreed that a herniation would be the likely suspect. I told her about the surgeon I was about to see and she agreed that he was a great choice. She told me that I should tell the surgeon that the pain clinic would handle the post surgical pain and asked me to call in a few weeks before the surgery so they could prescribe stronger pain medication.

Then she said, “Because honey, you are gonna need it!”

I wish I had known it would be the last time I would see her, I would have hugged her just a little bit longer. She made a difference in my life and didn’t even know she was doing it.
