DaMoshe – Refuah Shlaima!! I don’t know if people realize that what you did is a big deal! There are so many people who refuse to follow doctors orders (even when reiterated by their rav) at the risk of their health. I have been spoken to by non Jewish nurses and doctors who have had people IN the hospital in the middle of a medical crisis or emergency refusing to accept an IV on a fast day or take medications that can cause severe repercussions if missed.
Good for you for doing what Hashem has asked of all of us.
