I FLAME SURGERIES!

[AristaNiara]

I hate surgeries.  I have a condition called Endometriosis which is basically a painful condition which needs to be burned off a girl's uterus and overies.  Joyfully, I have to get this surgery soon before I end up giving myself a hysterectomy.  So this is bad enough but now, I just got told on Tuesday that I have a deviated septum which is causing me to constantly get sinus infections.  Joyful.  Now I have to get a surgery to correct that!  Now, being in school still isn't exactly the best of things right now since I have 3 classes left to take before I graduate and I'm being told "oh, probably by the time you graduate, you'll need 2 corrective surgeries on 2 different parts of your body!"

Now, this is NOT something I needed!  I'm ready to shoot myself and right now, at work, we're short handed.  We have the holidays coming up and I've got exams to worry about.  Because we're so short handed at work, I have to give notice NOW in regards to when I can have any surgeries.  I also have to go through a process where our corporate office may say "oh yeah, you can have your surgery!  In February!"  But this won't work with school since I have to be back in school at the end of January!  *bangs head against wall*  Doctor's are currently reluctant to do anything until they do a cat scan which I've had before.

Okay, I'll stop ranting now but I just had to get this out since with the stress of exams and with the start of my third sinus infection in a month, I'm just stressed out.

I don't think anyone coming in here to rant about stuff that is stressing them out is a bad thing.
I don't think anyone coming in here to rant just for some fun is bad either.

Sorry to hear about this. I think the most important things are your health first and your school/education second. The job should be third, and I hope they support you in your time of need!
Best wishes!

Thanks.  I'm hoping that I come out of this okay as well.  I'm trying to put school first but it's just difficult since I'm the one putting myself through school

Ouch... my wishes that it is quick and trouble-free one for you.

Gack, I hate surgeries, too.
I don't like hospitals, or going to the doctor, and I hate getting any kind of scan that involves being inside some machine where you can't move. Feel like I'm in a coffin. Brr. Hate being on medications, and being laid up, unable to do anything. Sure am tired of it when it happens.
I can also relate to your frustration with trying to get something accomplished like school, when your state of health is getting in the way. It's danged depressing, at times.
What seems overwhelming is looking at too much of what is ahead, and it seems to just pile up.
The attitude that works best for me, it may seem cliche, but I've found it to be true, is to take these things one day at a time, or even in increments throughout the day. One thing accomplished, one step closer to the goal of being well.
Anyway, for what it's worth, you have my sympathy!
