Upcoming surgery

Published by Antidaeophobia in the blog Antidaeophobia's blog. Views: 373

In a couple weeks, I'll be getting another routine stomach surgery. I'm looking forward to it, and I'm hoping afterwards I'll start feeling better and my health will improve compared to 2013 where I didn't have a single good day health wise.
People don't realize how distressing stomach issue can be, and I lost 40lbs due to vomiting from my gastroparesis this past year. It can be difficult trying to met someone for business lunch and having to sit there sipping coffee while they eat. It makes people very uncomfortable. Never mind when I was working on a theater show earlier this year and a rumor spread I had an eating disorder. I'm also thankful my employer has been so cool about me having to miss work. Hoping things will get better from here.
I am concerned however, because they will be testing me for stomach cancer again, which is always scary even if it is routine. They will also be evaluating whether I'll need any further surgery this year.
Luckily, I'll have my mother and best friend to keep me company before surgery and after. I am greatly looking forward to coming home afterwards, getting into my nice warm bed, feeling 80% better and eating some chicken soup and watching My Little Pony with my dog, while I recuperate.

    I know I don't know you very well, but a stomach surgery especially routinely would scare the living hell out of me. I would probably be put with major anxiety and then maybe into depression because of that. Anyways, I hope you feel better. I don't think anyone should really have to suffer through surgery.
