My surgery is in less than a week or so-November 24–and yesterday, I did the preop and preregistration for it with my aunt whom is like my mother at this point and goes to all my appointments and is my consolation in all this journey. I don’t owe anything but the surgery costs like 67K which is ridiculous. At the end, I am from the US and have employer based private insurance which is unreal and crazy through my husband’s job. At the end, there’s no guarantee that my doctor will find the endometriosis in me. I was told that there weren’t be any damage but that’s the risk, risk with all surgery, honestly especially any kind.
So, with this week before my surgery, I’m getting ready for my leave and won’t be back until the 14th of December. So, that means missing American Thanksgiving and my hair appointment on that same week. Can’t be helped. I didn’t want to miss Christmas, but alas, what can I do? What could I have done? Hopefully, they find what they’re looking for and also, they are getting rid of my tubes so I can’t have children which is a relief, because honestly, I don’t want them because I’m not emotionally ready for them nor am I well enough for them due to my frame of being 144 cm aka 4’9″ and 110 lbs aka 49 kgs. It would be a terrible time for me to have kids and I don’t wanna be cut open again for them and I don’t want to bring them to this world and to this terrible state of Texas where abortion is outlawed here for all reasons, which whether or not you agree with it, it is health care and anyone with a uterus’ care. Regardless, just a week now before my surgery.
Then my poor husband is dealing with dental issues like me and he is seeing the damage that not taking care of your teeth is–he’ll have to get fake teeth after a lot more than 5 or so are pulled and we have to worry about a car which I hope that my aunt can help pay for or at least help with. Anyhow, these last two months will be challenging for sure because he has to get this teeth issue taken care of in Jan along with new glasses for him and I; so January is a very busy month for us, honestly.
I found out that I’m actually shorter than I believed I was–more than an inch too or a whole inch, but I’m grateful that I nearly knocked out my Christmas shopping out of the park. I’m grateful for that, honestly. Just gotta shop for my brother and dad and should be done.
Hopefully, I’ll recover okay in the end…I’m hoping they find what they’re looking for in me.
