Jul. 27th, 2022 12:17 pmWhat a Surgery Is Really Like (in the Patient's POV)
Long time readers will know I've had quite a few surgeries.
(Part of why it's on the to-do list to get a tattoo that lists them - I'm genuinely losing count now. Think it's somewhere north of 16? 17?)
Given I just had one a week ago and another three months ago, and am able to handle talking about medical stuff in depth after going through therapy, it actually may not be a bad time to write this up. I figure a frank description would be good to satisfy idle curiosity of others, act as part resources if this will help other people's fanfiction or anxiety (or both lol), and ... part just the act of remembering for me. Feel free to copypaste if you think it will help others, I don't care about credit on this one.
( Fairly frank description of the medical rigmarole, nothing gorey. This isn't sunshine and flowers but it's not overly negative. )
