My paradigm is informed by Sandra Kahn's JAWS & James Nestor's BREATH re: opting for surgery when natural methods have worked. I'm not a naturopath, but am actually a nursing student.

Threw up again this morning. Still waiting on my #appendectomy — 2 more months to go.
Most people get theirs done the same day. Mine was too infected—they want everything calm before surgery.
Snuck out to Yogurtland later. It’s the only thing my stomach doesn’t seem to hate right now.

It’s sad that in the United States in 2025, a person (insured too!) can find themselves overwhelmed by medical debt from a necessary for life surgery. But that’s where I am.

I NEED YOUR INPUT: I’ve got 14 days until I bid farewell to my appendix and downstairs lady parts on 12/31 (hysterectomy + appendectomy BOGO situation).
.
I feel like I should be doing something for them.
.
One last hurrah for the old gals.

Do you have a suggestion?

My liver is also severely inflamed & gp believes that will go down. My enzymes are normal but I’m worried abt future infections.
My first surgery was an emergency #appendectomy because a cyst burst. The day I finally got confirmation that I suffer from #endometriosis. This was supposed to show how i felt after the #surgery. #digitalart #art #gore #blood #trauma
