Writing a Book

I have accepted the challenge to write a book.  My challenge is to write every day this year.  Of course, my book will be about Crohn's and my experience with this disease.  I need your help though.  I can't decided if I want to write a fiction story or a true, in your face story...think Tina Fey's Bossy Pants.

Today, I will submit a paragraph from my fictional book.  Tomorrow, I will submit a paragraph from my 'in your face' book.  I would appreciate your honest opinion, as the audience, on which direction I should go with my writing.  I'm not saying anything will ever come of my writing or that I will get published.  This is mainly a goal I have been wanting to achieve, but I think I write better when I have a solid direction.  Thank you in advance. 

PS Please be kind.

Disclaimer:  I have the write to do what I want!

Chapter 1

The sounds of laughter filled my ears as I came to from the five hour long surgery.  In between reality and dreamland, I tried to make sense of the faces, sights, and sounds.  Finally, the touch of his hand brought all my senses to attention.  I watched the fear on his face release down his cheek as he saw for himself, that I was going to survive.   He bent over and gently caressed my lips with a kiss and whispered “I love you.”  It was then that I knew my life would never be the same.  Finally, I would have the life that I had been praying for so long.
