Surgery Update
8 years ago
I had to go to the er last night due to insane pain in my lower back and abdomen. I have kidney stones, hooray.
While they were doing a ct scan to check if it indeed was stones, they found the cysts on my ovaries have grown a lot. One of them is now 12cm across, the er doctor said the size of a grapefruit. She was really concerned and it scared me. She sent me home this morning with instructions to have surgery to remove the cysts as soon as possible. So I'm doing that I think tomorrow.
I hate to do it but commissions are on hold until this is over. I won't take any new ones until I've recovered, and until I've finished the ones I owe after I've recovered.
I feel stupid but if anyone wants to help out, my insurance won't cover all of this. If you want to donate anything I would be humbled and more appreciative than you can imagine. I don't expect handouts, but if any of you feel like you do want to help, that is definitely a good way. My paypal is mountaingunthunder[at]gmail.com - any little bit will help.
I'm sorry to take a hiatus but this is really important. I'm pretty scared honestly so I'll be spending time up until the surgery offline probably.
I hope you guys understand. Thank you.
UPDATE:
So it turns out that the ER and the surgeon I had the consultation with afterwards were at a hospital that wasn't covered by my insurance. (we didn't know this obviously or we would have gone somewhere else) so they're referring me to another surgeon at Adventist. So the surgery is still not scheduled. And I'm frustrated and worried and anxious, but getting this over with as quickly as possible. I'll let you all know how it goes once it finally does... go...
I really really really want to thank the people who have helped out so far. You're seriously amazing. I don't know what else I can say, I really don't know what to say <3

FA+

Also that Gofundme would be a good idea.
