It's finally happening. They're pulling this diseased organ out tomorrow. The thing that caused me incredible pain and helped me completely destroy my life with alcohol for over a year, the thing that helped me become homeless, is finally going to be defeated. I have literally not been this happy in over a year. This is everything to me. I can finally start rebuilding my life. Thank you Reddit friends who told me to apply pressure at the ER. It worked. It absolutely friggin worked. My quality of life is actually going to return to normal.

I get to be happy again. Oh my fuck.

Edit: Surgery Successful. No complications or other issues found! I'm in the painful initial recovery stage then I'm free 30

Yeah. Sometimes you got to stand up for your rights.

Hoping surgery goes without hitches and you can take steps to move on.

That’s amazing, man!!! I’m so happy for you. Good luck with the surgery. They going in with the robots?

Edited to add: by robots, I mean the laparoscopic robotically aided (DaVinci) surgery.

In any case, best of luck to you tomorrow!!! I hope things go smoothly and that this is the first step to a great recovery. And be kind to your nurses when you’re done - they’re probably overworked and understaffed but they really are on your side and want you to get better. A lot of thank yous and patience will go a long way.

And one other thing to remember - pain medications are as needed. Meaning if they tell you it’s every four hours, you do need to ask them for your pain meds to get them. They don’t automatically give them to you on a schedule - it’s confusing if you haven’t spent a lot of time in a hospital before. So if you’re not comfortable, please ask for your pain meds but realize they may fall behind if they’re understaffed.

Good luck!!! And get some good rest before the surgery!
