...I had a bad hemorrhoid attack last night (bled so much that I was feeling lightheaded and my legs were shaking when standing).
I stopped the bleeding, but I will certainly need to see my doc about it. I talked to her before and she recommended surgery for it if it didn't improve with diet/meds.
I'm not on any kind of meds, thankfully, and my doc didn't say if it's signs of prostate cancer or any other serious condition when I brought it up in my last visit (probably cause I'm only 33 and my weight is average), just that if it didn't get better then I'll need the surgery. I think now might be time to seriously consider it.
Problem is; I am uninsured and my income is so low that I might not even qualify for most plans, if any.
I can't even apply in my state until the 15th of this month (and I'm lucky to even have that thanks to Biden), but that should give me time to make the other arrangements at least and review my options.
My legs aren't shaking anymore and I'm feeling less woozy, but I'm still feeling a bit tired, so I am gonna set up an appointment ASAP. This is not something I wanna fuck around with any longer than needed.
I didn't want to tell you all personally at first. Because this is something I'd want to address privately (and ofc because its freaking hemorrhoids), but in a worst case scenario, I'd like you to at least know what might have happened to me should I end up ghosting you all for real.
But yeah, still gonna be wary of this. As if I didn't have enough to worry about....

I'm about the same age and I've been living with a little friend as well, since a long delegation to one of those post soviet republics in eastern Europe a couple of years back. Their sand paper did quite a number on my decadent american tush. Fortunately it is just a single one and bothers very rarely, usually when I have to take a lot of nsaids. Still, I empathize.
I very much do NOT want to risk wearing an adult diaper from this, I agree. I'd sooner die than live with such a undignified condition for the for the rest of my life. It's bad enough that I have low self-esteem as is.
