Hello friends! After ten years, I am finally pursuing top surgery. I'm booked for April 9th! While I am lucky enough to have the cost of my surgery covered, there are a lot of expenses that will be popping up in the next few weeks. I'll list my current estimations: HOTEL: staying from 8th-10th in a hotel, so that I don't have to travel home immediately after surgery in case of emergencies. Roughly $250. GROCERIES: special, accessible foods are important for this time. Roughly $300 for my month of recovery. MEDICAL SUPPLIES: while some will be provided by my hospital, most is not. $200-400 (will not know until pre-op). I will also be unable to work from April 8th-May 8th (assuming best possible recovery), so I am losing out on roughly $1600 of income. Because of this, donations to my venmo or any of the gift cards on the side would be extremely helpful! Any money that isn't used for my recovery will be used for other transition related costs (I intend to seek a hysterectomy within the year) OR donated to a trans charity. If you have a strong preference, please let me know ahead of time in your donation. If you would like to bring me food, I would prefer it to be on the cleaner/healthier side, as my body will be very out of whack for a few weeks. Some of my standard orders: The Dez: Mocha w/ oat milk, spinach & feta or bacon & cheddar quiche Frontier: Prickly pear arnold palmer, mocha w/ oat milk, avocado toast 8 Star: Beef or pork bulgogi plate Algobertos: Al pastor tacos (any number-- I will eat all of them >:) ) Good China Star: any combination of BBQ pork, orange chicken, black pepper steak, egg rolls, or rangoons! I'm also extremely appreciative to receive home made food! I'm not super picky, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions. :) Most of all, I would like company after the first week of recovery (starting 4/16)! I will be very bored and have pretty limited mobility, so please come entertain me.
