#basically how I've been for the past three days weeee

[misteria247]

I just realized that I didn't really give y'all an update much on my surgery so here it is. Beneath the read more:

For context, this surgery was for a pilonidal cyst. Which is a cyst that develops at the tailbone/lower back and it's highly painful to have. I'd had this pilonidal cyst since I was 12 years old, just starting sixth grade. And had gotten surgery on it twice within my lifetime. Once during sixth grade, and the second time occurring sometime during my final years of high school/shortly after graduation. The surgery I currently went through again on Monday was the third time I'd gotten it for the same medical issue, which I'd been informed could actually come back later within my lifetime. But that's another can of worms for another day. Today is about the update for those who wanted to know.

The surgery went okay. However the cyst in question was a lot bigger and a lot deeper than the team of surgeons originally thought it was. So to put bluntly, they don't know if they'd managed to get it all out because of this. It's basically a only time will tell type of scenario, which I'm hoping and praying that it stays away for a long time. Anyways because of all this, the surgery also took a lot longer to complete. I'd ended up getting done around 3-3:30ish when it was supposed to be about ninety minutes or so. So they did the surgery on me and so far it seems like a success.

During the day of said surgery I was alone during the entire day so I was really anxious and on edge. But God was looking out for me because my actual surgeon who was performing the operation, had asked to pray over me before I'd be taken back. It was honestly incredibly revealing and it gave me a major comfort I didn't even realize I was lacking till he was done praying. And also one of the anesthesia doctors was pretty cute, and I managed to get him to laugh twice. It was quite an achievement lmfao.

Anyways I'm currently recovering from the surgery. I got to go home the same day, and I've basically been taking it easy and taking my pain medication when I'm in dire need of it. Been having some troubles with my legs and hips cramping up and waking me up randomly in the middle of the night, but we're working through it.

Hopefully things will go okay and I'll be as good as new in no time.
