Hello, everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't written in over a month. Things have gone off the deep end over here at ye ole homestead. I started to write up a blog post about why before things went off the rails, but I didn't have a chance to finish it. In doing so, I realized something; this is not what I was expecting to write about but it's what I need to write about.
I had major surgery last Friday and I am still recovering. Once I'm up and around more and more cognizant, I want to really dig into my experience. It wasn't just getting the surgery that I needed that was so difficult, it was the recovery, too. I've had seven previous surgeries, and what has happened to me over the last week dragged me into a nightmare that I never knew could exist. And, apparently, in doing some research, this does happen to people but no one talks about it; not even the doctors.
Today is the first day that I've been up and around, or properly aware of my surroundings. Today is the first day I have hope or a want to do anything. But I will be back soon to start to tell the story of how I went from having "womanly" issues, to multiple ER visits, to being bounced around to different doctors, to having surgery, to going through absolute Hell and back. And to all the women out there dealing with endometriosis and doctors who do not listen, I hear you and I hope my story helps you.
Until then, IT'S FALL Y'ALL, and I am a basic pumpkin spice latte loving you know what. I hope to add some fun fall things to the blog! For now, I'm going to be watching Gilmore Girls, Unsellable Houses, Highlander: The Raven, One Tree Hill, Wildfire, and all the comfort shows that make me feel at home. Maybe I'll even watch a few of those terrible Hallmark movies, too.
