#pilonidalcystrecovery

Yesterday, I underwent surgery for the removal of a pilonidal sinus cyst, and I’m relieved to report that the operation went smoothly. Honestly, it felt like one of those “2-second time-skip cutscenes” from an RPG game—blink, and it was done. Minimal sensation. Minimal awareness. But definitely not minimal impact.

💡 Reality Check: As expected, the cost is expensive—a reminder that healthcare in our current society remains a heavy burden for many of us who aren’t sitting on 6-figure salaries or sponsored benefits. Recovery is underway, and I’m surrounded by my family, which I’m grateful for.

Despite the surreal nature of the procedure, I haven’t had much time to return to what truly brings me joy—writing immersive stories and working toward my long-term dream of becoming an animator. These passions remain on hold, temporarily, while I prioritize healing and managing the financial aftermath.

I thank anyone who reads this and understands. Life often throws unexpected quests our way—and this one was personal, physical, and expensive. But I’m still here, still planning, still dreaming.
