For those of you who celebrated, hope you guys had an awesome Thanksgiving. I sadly could not feast this year because I got an ulcer (or maybe a pre-ulcer really since it didn’t bleed). But man it hurts like a mofo. It was so bad this past Monday morning that I went to the ER (I thought I was having a heart attack—irrational I know, but the pain was excruciating). Sadly they couldn’t diagnose it there. Only after I came home and had the pain after coffee did I realize it had something to do with my stomach. I really need to change doctors because after emailing my primary physician about this she just told me to keep taking an over the counter acid suppressor and wait 2 weeks. Oh and yea not eat anything that could irritate my stomach. Guess the stress and unhealthy eating habits have finally caught up to me.

Also I’ll finally be having my hysterectomy this coming Thursday. Wish me luck! It’ll be my first time going fully under, which I think might actually be better than the C-section where you’re fully awake. Though of course going under leads to other kinds of risks. Oh and the painkillers and empty stomach for surgery is not going to be fun with an ulcer. I guess when it rains it pours, eh?

Anyway sorry if I sound like debbie downer here but I’m under a lot of health-related stress. On the bright side, I haven’t shopped any Black Friday sales. I have a little FOMO about this (like what kind of good deals am I missing?!) but I just let that feeling go. Plus I already purchased enough things earlier this month. But maybe I can live vicariously through you: did you guys buy anything for Black Friday?
