Some day there will be studies showing the effects of October 7 on the health of ordinary Israelis like me. I have no doubt that others have felt the physical impacts of the war. The saga of my health "scare" continues.

OMG OKAY STORYTIME When I was 15 I found a lump on my breast and I panicked, I was a little trans baby with boobies what was I supposed to do and I told my mom and she panics which did not help my panic and she zoomies to the ER and we wait for 2 GODDAMN HOURS just for them to say well we need an ultrasound SO WE WAIT ANOTHER HOUR and they do the thing and they go okay not cancer it's a cyst and we go okay how did it get there the doctor looks at us, shrugs, and goes I dunno. whAt anyway so we go okay can you get rid of she says no we say why the hell did we come here she says this ER doesn't have a child surgery unit. What. Context I lived in an itty bitty town with more churches than hospitals and our ER did not have a childcare unit, so we drove 2 MORE HOURS to see a different hospital with a childcare unit, I ended up having to stay overnight, all of this with a bipolar mom who did not enjoy being there and my anxiety is unmedicated so I'm freaking the fuck out, the IV blows and there are THREE DOCTORS LOOKING AT MY VEINS GOING WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY and then in the morning I get the surgery and when I wake up they say it wasn't a cyst, it was a fluid pocket, probably from self harm. eXCUSE ME?!

Had an ultrasound done on Thursday. Just got the results last night. There's a mass that's 4cm that was flagged as concerning. I'll probably have to get more testing done. Praying that it's just a cyst and medication can shrink it.

I had my first big health scare today. It lasted 5 minutes, but damn it was the longest 5 minutes of my life.

MyChart is all like "oh your pap smear is ready" and I'm like "okay cool"

Abnormal.

This is the first time I've had one abnormal and I'm going through my chart trying to figure out if I'm dying or not (and my brain is already screaming CANCER).

Until my doctor finally commented on the result. Since the HPV tests were negative, it was considered "normal" and no additional actions needed to be taken now.

AND WHEN I SAY THIS WAS THE LONGEST 5 MINUTES OF MY LIFE!!!

I am just glad it turned out for the better. But still.

I think I am slowly grieving my mom.

She had an aortic occlusion in October. She had to get an aortoiliac bifemoral bypass graft and it's patent. She's healing. But. It's a bit of a lengthy recovery... on top of that...

The graft is only good for potentially 10 years. Maybe less. She would possibly need another graft later. She's 52 years old.

She states that she will not go through this procedure again as it has been horrible and very difficult to get through for her and she is still only at like 65 percent. She has a new normal and all from this and it is hard for her.

The graft keeps her alive. Without it working, that would not stay that way.

She's not gone, obviously. But I still depend on her and my father passed years ago and was hardly in our lives. I have sisters, but while we are sort of close out of necessity for just barely making ends meet, our relationship is very much not great.

I'm an adult, but we all have some codependency issues in my family, I am aware of that.

Mom had me young. Every joke growing up was that we would be in the nursing home together and crap like that. Now, I am thinking of the eventual loss of my mom.

It's not the only thing my SAD is honing in on, but it is currently my biggest trigger right now.

I am not the best at grief. Mostly because I think it is combining with my SAD now but because crap from years ago mixes with it and leads to me just upsetting myself over nothing. Mom isn't dead. I get that, I do, but I cannot seem to accept it. The eventual loss.

I hate that the 5 stages of grief aren't levels you finish and never revisit.

Other losses around this time of year too are also circling my brain. During the day, I can be and act fine. At night, when I am winding down, not so much.

I once had bells palsy, which looks similar to a stroke in your face and as a result of the facial drooping I was having trouble speaking. So it really sounded/looked like I was having a stroke to that intial doctor until someone thought of bells palsy. Eight months of tests and dealing with shit doctors telling me unhelpful things like stop eating red meat(I rarely do), stop drinking so much caffeine (I already rarely drank caffeine because it upsets my stomach), and pain/nerve issues on the right side of my skull. Eight months and then it was discovered I had shingles on my head the whole time! No ever bothered to actually look at my scalp despite my complaints and my thick hair was hiding all of it. And it could have made me blind or deaf on that side.

This is asking about any significantly life altering or life threatening physical disease, infection, or accident that a medical specialist would have needed to test/treat you for.

Anon had a cancer scare that thankfully turned out to be benign, but some bad info and a long waitlist made for a very stressful time. They're wondering how many others have been there!

A Health Scare

Archie sat stubbornly in his favorite armchair, clutching his chest. The worn leather creaked beneath him, a familiar comfort he couldn't find solace in today. He had been feeling unwell for days, but his pride kept him from admitting it.

Edith approached him, concern etched on her face. Her eyes, usually bright and warm, now held a deep worry.

"Archie, you need to see a doctor," she pleaded, her voice trembling.

Archie's face reddened, but his voice lacked conviction. "Ah, stifle it, Edith. I'm fine."

Edith's grip on his hand tightened. "But Archie, you haven't been yourself lately. Please, just this once, listen to me." Her voice cracked.

"I'm telling you, Edith, I'm fine," Archie insisted, his tone softening.

That night, as Edith was preparing for bed, she heard a thud from the living room. Rushing out, she found Archie collapsed on the floor. Panic surged through her.

"Archie! Oh God, Archie!" she screamed, calling 911.

The Hospital Room:

Archie woke to beeping machines and Edith's tear-stained face.

"Edith," he croaked.

"Oh, Archie," she whispered, tears streaming down. "You scared me half to death."

Archie's eyes filled with regret. "I'm sorry, Edith. I didn't mean to worry you."

Edith's voice broke. "Archie, you need to take care of yourself. I can't lose you."

Their hands intertwined, Archie confessed, "I was scared. I didn't want to burden you."

"I'm your wife, Archie. It's my job to worry," Edith replied.

As the hospital room's fluorescent lights hummed above, Archie's gaze locked onto Edith's.

"I love you, Edith. I always have and always will," Archie said.

"I love you too, Archie. I can't imagine my life without you," Edith replied.

"I don't know what I'd do without you, Edith. You're my rock, my everything," Archie admitted, his voice breaking.

"And you're mine, Archie. We'll get through this together," Edith said, squeezing his hand.

Archie leaned in and gently kissed Edith, a kiss filled with love, apology, and promise.

Heartfelt Conversations:

During recovery, they shared fears and love.

"I was scared, Edith," Archie admitted.

"Archie, we're in this together. Always," Edith reassured.

"I know I've been stubborn, but I promise I'll do better," Archie said.

"And I'll be more patient. We'll get through this, Archie," Edith replied.

Renewed Commitment:

Archie vowed to prioritize health; Edith promised patience.

Symbolic Gesture:

Archie gifted Edith a locket with a note: "To my Edith, my heart and soul."

Edith's eyes welled up. "Oh, Archie, it's beautiful."

Rebuilding Trust:

Hand in hand, they left the hospital.

"I love you, Edith. Always have, always will," Archie said.

"I love you too, Archie. Let's take care of each other," Edith replied.

Back home, they sat on the couch, side by side.

The warm lamp glow symbolized their renewed bond.

"I'm sorry for being stubborn," Archie whispered.

"I'm sorry for not pushing harder," Edith replied.

Their fingers intertwined, they sat in comfortable silence.

Days passed, and Archie slowly recovered. Edith stayed by his side, managing his medication and physical therapy.

One afternoon, in the hospital garden, Archie turned to Edith with a contrite expression.

"Edith, I realize I took our time for granted," Archie confessed.

"And I realize I should've pushed you harder to see a doctor," Edith replied.

Their hands swayed gently, a soothing rhythm.

"I promise to cherish every moment," Archie said.

"I promise to support you, always," Edith replied.

Their love and commitment enveloped them.
