totally see why you would be freaked out. How severe is it? I think you are totally right to look for alternatives to surgery if you can. Can you take Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang for the particular pattern you have or do you also need Kidney yang support as well? Are you able to see someone else in your area for acupuncture and herbs?
I will personally ask the universe for that break for you.

I am guessing yes, from your comment. Sending you healing thoughts and wishes and energy.

for you too. This is a big deal—hard to deal with when you’re facing so many challenges already.

Hugs & healing to you.

This is big stuff. I’m sorry you don’t have another acupuncturist nearby.

I find that I can become quite paralyzed when I think about all that “could go wrong.” A lot of the outcome of surgery rests on the experience of the surgeon. It might be helpful to ask your ob/gyn how many of these procedures he/she has done over the years.

Years ago, I had a very bad result from some routine surgery, requiring more surgery to repair things. The second surgeon was a quiet, competent woman who had years and years of experience, and she was able to give me my foot back, albeit some the worse for the adventure. Her manner was as important as her surgical skill, I swear. I wish you a calm and wise surgeon who can help you through this.

May you get everything and everyone you need, and soon.
