    Injury/Illness
    Surgery

    I found out recently that I have to have my gallbladder removed on December 4th due to the amount of gallstones. This was discovered a month ago due to severe stomach pains with no reprieve. I will miss at least a week or more of work (it all depends on how my body heals). We did not plan on going through this clearly. We are really needing support to get through this abrupt change.

    Procedure was completed

    I had my gallbladder removed successfully December 4th and there were a lot of gallstones including one that was almost as big as a marble. I ended up being placed on medical leave for a minimum of a week but could be longer. All depends on how my body heals. I was not expecting to be this uncomfortable from the surgery. I elected for non narcotic pain medication for personal reasons. So that does limit some of the relief that I could get. We really could use some help. We are limited on assistance due to a majority of the programs available are either out of funding or have shutdown as the pandemic timeframe has ran out. I will also be getting a bill from my insurance for the procedure for approximately $6000 that will need to be paid (I’m still waiting for it to arrive).
