Pretty hellish. I lost 40 pounds vomiting, due to an "extreme intolerance to billary colic" from my gallbladder, but had to wait 9 months for removal surgery because of Covid backlog.

Also, my former partner was fucking around behind my back (from the very beginning of the pandemic too), and gave me an STI.

Potential Suicide Trigger I honestly thought of ending it all more than once, and scarily found myself considering the full bottle of morphine tablets the hospital prescribed me (I'm in the worst Canadian healthcare province).

What made the surgery finally happen was simply going to the ER at the other major hospital in my city (the so-called lower quality one, go figure).
