Surgery Blues/Thanksgiving Joys

Posted on November 28, 2025 by Shellyyum || No Comments

So, it happened- I had my surgery and I had endometriosis, very badly and they also managed to scrap a lot of it away which is great but recovery time in two weeks for me and then I’ll return back to work on the 14th of December. I miss it. I miss being active and hate having to rest but I gotta because they did the surgery laparoscopic, and man does it hurt still. They gave me strong medication for the pain but I’m using it sparingly because it is a schedule II narcotic and I could get addicted and I don’t want that. Anyhow, I’m doing better since I had the surgery on the 24th, a few days before Thanksgiving. Better than missing out on Christmas. Plus, I made it to my deducible and out of pocket costs if you aren’t familiar with US private health care insurance. Once you reach a certain amount you pay for, then, your insurance company covers the rest of the year until the 31st of December. Then it rolls around for next year to meet a new deducible.
