Great, mom... you've been postponing it for a week now... you could have had it done long ago but you decided to try and wait... I TOLD you you cant wait, a week ago... But noooo, for you to listen to me? Never. Now, 2 days before the dead-out holiday when even hospitals wont work, you listen to your co-worker saying it's en emergency and go to do it right now. If you'd listen to me you'd be fine by now already - but noooo, why would you ever listen to me..

Now you're going to have that surgery and be left for your own luck, because on 1st janurary, NOTHING works. Even emergency hospitals.
You said you didnt want to ruin everyone's holidays. Well, guess what mom - you did just that.
