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.

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.
