- seriously consider getting top surgery during this insurance period, as a family member got major surgery and already got us close to the family deductible. I’m a grad student, and the only break I have with enough time to recover sufficiently is in late december, during my winter break. this means we won’t be able to go home for the holidays.

my partner is upset, because they’re very close with their family. i’m trying to think of a way to convince them to go home to michigan without me to spend the holidays with their family, but this is a major surgery and i’d need someone to help me out during the first few weeks of recovery

hmmm i don’t know if i have advice but is there any one else that can help you while you recover? does it even make sense to tell your partner to go home for the holidays yk? i totally get why you need to do this in december and i think your partner should understand, even if they may be kinda upset about missing holidays at home. is their any chance their family can come see you guys? good luck friend, seems like a difficult situation

maybe its just me but if my partner needed surgery i wouldnt mind staying home to help even if it meant i didnt see my family for the holidays
