im so excited to recover, i want to make so much art about the love ive felt lately and how absolutely staggering its been for me in the wake of what has been an absolutely devastating few years... all i can have is gratitude

i want to write an important story about suffering and the beauty of living life regardless of knowing and the pain of learning. the endless barbs and balms of love and connections. its so important

okay news from post op write up nerve was 90% severed and hanging by a thread, so huge win, no need for allograft very successful repair of ulnar nerve and artery, excited to hear my prognosis

that said im so glad i blew off my second opinion, what an idiot. not only did he manhandle my hand but he recommended waiting months for enrollment to get coverage there is a high chance i would have snapped the fuck out of my nerve in that time

OOOOKAAY welp, a lot of development over the past few hours bad news: other provider opinion was a waste of time and money, basically told me to quit fucking around good news: i got my initial 50% payment waived by the surgeon on an urgent case basis and will be getting surgery TOMORROW

kinda sucks and is definitely catching me off guard, but its the best case scenario for optimizing my chances of surgical success and recovery

*trying not to be vindictive and cruel* this would be easier if everyone didnt act like they were in middle school anymore at the tender age of 25

i have an appointment with a second surgeon on monday financial assistance with this provider is notably better

ibe been a hard person to help i think, but seeing this support is helping im checking my options, 7k is exorbitant at the door , i was unemployed a chunk of the year. i have a feeling even if that nurse had the best intentions telling me to go with the office it might not be the best

thank you to everyone who has helped so far, im still a ways away (i need 7k up front for surgery per the surgeons office policy) but this is amazing ;;;;;;;

i have to put up 7.5k in less than a week they want 50% at the time of proceedure and the longer i go without it the more it heals wrong and we have to tear up my hand again

theyre guessing ~10k out of pocket, nothing solid but :(

im getting my hand looked at, by the surgeons office good news: prognosis is optimistic, anticipating some measure of nerve repair and returning feeling bad news: surgery is definitely needed, will likely extend the incision. follow up and rehabilitation needed too. worst news: MONEY ;;;;;;;

update mostly major tissue damage in the muscular palm of the thumb, arterial bleed that was difficult to manage. 10 stitches. likely severed interior superficial nerve of the thumb, touch is completely numb on interior thumb. motor nerve seems fine with ROM surgery and PT is likely
