surgery options

U dun have to be mentally prepared for operation.. plus wat kind of operationOriginally posted by sEphIrOth:i am going for surgery but i do not know what is stopping me. i am not mentally prepared.
currently i am studying in republic poly.
my sem starts in 2 weeks time and there will be no time to operate.
my next breaks are in dec and feb
i dont know whether to operate in dec or feb
the latest dilemma is that i need to operate within 90days of the injury if not i will not be insured. if i operate in dec or feb, i will not be compensated. that means paying >10k!
i dont know what to do. to forgo the money and be prepared, or to just go for it, facing the fear and continue being on crutches for 1 whole sem
mainly the issues are money and the mental preparation. i cannot choose between both. i would like some advice. thanks.
? if its important enough for your health. u shud think it as priority. normally they wont let u awake when they do the operation, of course they scare u will go crazy when u see all blood.. im sure they wil give u some anesthetic or mayb pain killer lol to let u watch but feel no pain -
GO FOR IT!! Nothing matters more than good health & healthy function of the body..Money is equally important!! Therefore in ur case, if u dun operate soon, high chances tat u wll lose both!! So, go for it! Fear is juz a barrier to accomplish great things! Jia You!!!

Seek advice from the doctor/specialist when to do the op. It's your leg that is more important. Doc might let you decide. But dec and feb is quite late as now is sep. If can save the $$$ then save it, otherwise it 's going to be a burden.

GO FOR IT! You'll be glad you did and prouder of yourself after the op! Being on crutches for 1 whole sem is no big deal. Have confidence in yourself that you can overcome whatever difficulties facing you along the way....
Mental preparation is b/s. Do what you hafta do! All ze best! -
thanks all. i will go for it and overcome my pain. i will book it sooner.
