Hello, question asker!
As you described,
In the morning, I went for an MRI. The doctor gave me some great news: "You have a protrusion at L5S1 of your lumbar spine. You can go to a specialist hospital for minimally invasive surgery. You will be hospitalized for one week and will recover quickly. You will not experience back pain easily."
The good news is that the doctor said it was a minimally invasive surgery, which means it's not very serious. Even better, we need to have this minor surgery so that we can slowly get better on our own. I have had a minimally invasive surgery before, and it is much more difficult than being sick in general, but the process is very short, about two weeks.
Of course, our conditions are different, and it really depends on the doctor. Minimally invasive surgery is a minor operation, and we can go to another hospital to see if we need surgery. The result may be the same, because I didn't believe I would get sick and need to go to the operating table. Maybe if we go to a better hospital, the doctor will have a different opinion. Now with anesthesia, it won't hurt as much as we think. We just need to sleep through the operation, and rest after the operation. We can't overwork, but we can definitely recover!
And I was 28 years old at the time. Illness has no age limit, which means there's still plenty of time for us to live our best lives! We don't need to be so pessimistic. Instead, we can listen to the doctor's advice and stay in the hospital for a week.
After listening to the director, I walked down the street in a reflective mood. I thought to myself, "I'm only 30 and I already have a herniated disc, but I'm still young and I'm going to make the most of it! Why don't other people have it? Why is my life so difficult? I'm also a tuberculosis patient. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be human, it's too painful. I'm scared of marriage, but I'm excited to see what the future holds!"
What are we afraid of? Absolutely nothing! We may feel a little frustration when we are young and sick at the age of 30, but that's only natural.
Everyone has their own suffering, and misfortune is the norm. But here's the good news: God has arranged these sufferings for us to grow better, not to break us! We just need to slowly grow up in suffering and find our own direction.
My father had tuberculosis, and my sister had brain tuberculosis. The great news is that my sister is basically cured! It's important to keep your utensils separate from those of family members who have tuberculosis. When we encounter problems, we should actively cooperate with the doctor to seek solutions, and usually improve our physical fitness. We might encounter some imperfections, but we try not to deny ourselves. Instead, we look at the positive side of life!
Our lives may not be as strong or long as others, but every day we are alive is a gift! There are so many beautiful parts of our lives that we haven't yet discovered.
Marriage is the ultimate union of two families! If we are worried that our partner will not be able to accept our situation, we can communicate in advance. We need to be tolerant of each other and understand each other. ?
I'm sure we'll all be victorious over this disease soon!
Wishing you all the best! I am the meaning of life. 壹心理, the world, and I love you!

I can't believe this is happening to me at 30. It feels like every step comes with a new challenge, and now a herniated disc on top of everything else. Life seems so much easier for others; why does it feel like I'm the only one struggling this much? Adding surgery to the list of things to worry about is just overwhelming.
The doctor's words are echoing in my mind. A week in the hospital and quick recovery sounds straightforward, but the fear of being cut open is terrifying. And then there's the TB history. How am I supposed to move forward with all this weighing me down? The thought of marriage now feels like an impossible dream.
It's hard not to feel defeated when you're facing health issues that seem insurmountable. At times like these, I wonder what it would be like to have a life free from pain and illness. The road ahead looks tough, but I guess I have no choice but to face it headon.
Feeling a mix of emotions after hearing about the protruding vertebra. Part of me wants to fight and get better, while another part is just exhausted by the constant battle with my health. Worrying about how this will affect my future plans, especially something as significant as marriage, adds another layer of complexity to an already difficult situation.
