We bought our daughter an acoustic guitar for her Christmas last year and she’s done really well teaching herself since. So we decided to buy her an electric guitar for Christmas this year. It’s bought, hidden away for the day. She’s done some research and I’ve done a bit and we’ve settled one the Boss Katana 50. We can’t really afford anything more than that. My question is, and I know this will sound ridiculous but will it come with the cable that connects the guitar to the amp? Or do we need to buy that separately?

Thanks in advance, I feel totally daft asking this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi there,
I'm reaching out in the hope of finding anyone else who has been dealing with chronic PICS.
This all started after I had an emergency surgery to remove my large bowel which had burst and I ended up in septic shock. I was critically ill in a coma back in 2020 and I ended up with a permanent ileostomy.
A few months later the cysts started off small. And then it got big enough to cause hydronephrosis. Which is still ongoing. Apparently due to the cysts and retroperitoneal fibrosis (scarring) this will be ongoing. I have bilateral kidney stents changed every 9 months. My kidneys function around 40%. Although before I had treatment they had fallen to 20%.
Last week I had a blockage in my stoma and I knew already that the cyst had grown as I know my own body. There’s a large cyst and smaller collections.
As many of you experience as woman, I too am often dismissed and they don’t believe it could have grown or be so big. It’s just over 20 cms again. I last had it drained in July last year. Although I was much more unwell that time. I’ve been told this will likely be lifelong. Surgery isn’t advisable due to the adhesions and scaring. And how big the surgery was to remove my large bowel.
There is no clear plan in place, general surgery said they would scan every year. To see if the large cyst has grown but unfortunately this hasn’t happened. There’s only been drainage because it’s been an emergency. I’m in the uk, and things really do have to be at an emergency level before anything is done unfortunately.
I was told my case is very rare and they hardly ever see someone like me. I’m in my mid 40’s and I really find it hard to accept that this is going to be my life. And find it hard to accept that they would happily leave the cyst to continue to grow and grow. There’s no consultant even checking me yearly regarding the. Cysts.
I’m just reaching out as I saw there was a previous post archived on here and wondered if anyone else was even remotely in the same position. I’ll be going back in for drainage this week. I’ve no idea how long the drain will stay in for this time. I do wish there was more transparency. I’ve asked for clear plan regarding my care. But I’m still fobbed off.
