Alright, so an update. After getting out of the ER, it turns out my problem might not be as severe as initially thought.<br/><br/>Thing is, I still need to see a specialist, and depending on what they think, I may still end up needing surgery, after all.<br/><br/>I won't know more until I call the specialist Monday, and can go in for an exam.<br/><br/>Basically, though, I jumped the gun this time, but there might be a period of time where I have to withdraw for a while.
