August 22nd

I haven't had the right mindset to talk about this stupid disease. My life had been a sort of rollercoaster for the last few months. Some days, it's smooth and the sun is out and I'm having fun, others, I'm taking hair pin turns and white knuckling the lap bar trying to hang on amid the pain and total lack of energy. But I keep going. I can't stop. I refuse to give up and let go and get off the ride. I live for the days in the sun, laughing and enjoying life.

Which is why I opted for surgery again with a new doctor that specializes in pelvic pain.

I started writing this blog months ago to hash out an internal argument over wether surgery was the right answer.... And it was.

I'm two weeks post-op today and still recovering from the excision surgery that removed endometriosis from my bladder and peritoneum. I was the "AH HA" patient that helped prove that endometriosis CANNOT be cured with hysterectomy in some patients. I'm hoping this helps even one more woman struggling with the pain.

And so, that's all I can really say for now. I'm in a spot where I'm not sure where to go next. I'll explain more later.
