With A Question Mark, To Emphasize Uncertainty

And so, as things always seem to happen, my surgery is going to take longer than originally expected. My dentist said it would take 4 months but today the surgeon told me 9 months. Now I'm wondering when I'll ever get to leave this country, as all my formerly realistic estimations are becoming even further delayed. All I want is some change in my life and I'm not all that concerned with what form it takes, so long as it distracts from this... life?
