Soooo.
Monday 12/11 I went into the ER with excruciating abdominal pain, the worst I have ever experienced, honestly though it might be a heart attack with how widespread the pain was.
Bloodwork and CT scan done and it turns out, I had a loop of small intestine that was trapped and strangulated in an umbelical hernia. They were unsure of the severity and there was a possibility that part of my intestines would need to be removed if they had suffered tissue death.
I was rushed into surgery that night and spent the following 2 days in the hospital on pain meds, with a tube in my nose and resting. Im home now. Still very sore, still very tender. Im out of work for at least this weekend, which really really sucks. I dont have any more PTO or sick days through my work being that it is the end of the year. I may have to take the following weekend off depending on how I am doing.
This has been a stressful experience, a painful experience and just.... frustrating.

I am OK though. I live to see another day and get to spend my holidays with my family.
As such, I am not able to be on my feet for very long without being in pain and fatigue.
I need help. I hate asking. But financially we are screwed with me being out of work.
If you are at all able to help in anyway, I deeply appreciate it, if not, no worries at all.

I have had so many people reach out and share kindness with me, I am so so grateful <3
