Edit: Well that was anti-climactic. But at least I don't have it anymore, now it is just smooth selling of healing over the next three months now they say it's supposed to close up on its own, but they want to give it three months for it heal up on its own as my next CF appointment is in three months anyways so let's hope it actually does heal up by itself by then.

Original: Well if you remember my most recent post on here from two weeks ago you would've known that I highly anticipated this day but it's currently 6:22 AM and my appointment is 11 AM to finally get this thing removed after 25 years (give or take a couple years) obviously take away a couple years being 25 and all some more like take away a couple years to make it to 23 years but tomato tomato.

So here we are finally getting it removed. I'm not gonna lie I'm nervous, I mean when you go 23 to 25 years with it in basically your entire life it's like you're losing a part of you permanently but like I said the other post I haven't used it since November 2025 so on a technicality basis it's already gone, it's just needing to be permanently removed at this point, obviously they have it listed as a "evaluation" but then they go ahead and say the actual procedure might take 3 to 4 hours on the actual letter that I got including checking mychart for the actual appointment details which obviously tells me that it's more of a removal than just in an evaluation, probably to actually see how bad it is so they don't go in blind. so hopefully after this is set and done this part of the journey work be over for once, but like always it's just a small part of the journey on a bigger journey.

Okay, so the day is almost here for the evaluation for a Mickey tube removal.

Like everyone else, I have the same concerns: leakage, anxiety, and embarrassment. However, I’m not particularly embarrassed by it; I’m just tired and want it removed. I’ve had it for 25 years, and we know the two possible methods for removal. Hopefully, it’ll heal on its own, but considering it’s been 25 years, it’s unlikely. My evaluation is scheduled for August 18th, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the day when I can finally get this thing removed.

It’s about time, too. It’s been unused since mid-November 2025 and popped since January 23, 2026. So, it’s high time to get this done. I’ve been putting it off due to anxiety, but I just want it gone.

OK so I originally signed up February 16, 2022 shortly before the whole 2022 migration to the new plans.

I currently have the 2022 immigration discount code permanently applied to my account because of this just like a lot of other people, my plan is currently the proton for business 2 users $16.80 a month USD after tax.

I'm wondering what percentage is that discount because if I got it wrong that's a 42.5% discount if 2 users on proton for business comes out to like $25.99 a month. but I'm guessing that discount would be calculated based on the new price if you go for standard or premium because tactically you're starting a new subscription, even if you're just moving to a new plan unless the 2023 price hike only affects on account level only.

Please do correct me on that 2 user price before discount if I got it wrong.
