Surgery as others have said is a quick in and out and it's fixed. Be sure you have your therapy afterwards planned and ready to go. Not every physical therapist has appointments ready the moment you leave the hospital. Also make sure your employer, health insurance or whatever applies keeps you financially afloat while you aren't able to work. Have a plan for reentering the workforce.

I already know what physical therapist I want to see. I had my mom call my work to update them on my condition because I was crying with pain. They're offering me accident insurance payout once I gety surgery, even though I was hurtnwhen working at home on the clock. My parents are letting me stay with them and they are going to make sure my ducks and cats are careful for. My dogs are going to be with me at my parents' place

Yeah. I have a menagerie. I grew up on farms, so I have always had loads of critters running around. I can't do any more animals now. I am at my limit lmao. Also, thanks for the well-wishes!
