Dedicated or Just High Pain Threshold?

So a week ago I was on the way to visit an uncooperative witness when I decided I should instead to to urgent care because the pain in my stomach was rapidly coming back. Turns out it was something pretty serious and required surgery. I would write more, but I can't at this point because I'm considering all of my options. Anyway, I have to wonder, with that kind of excruciating pain, am I just that dedicated or do I just have that high of a pain threshold? I'm going to pick door "A," Monte. My clients mean so much to me, and I want such great things for them. My dedication is beyond question. Speaking of that, I need to get back at it. "It" being recovering from surgery and following up on my cases.
