Hysterectomy Recovery

Donation protected
I was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis. Because of the neglect of several doctors over the last 4 years this chronic disease has worsened. This disease is the catalyst to a large number of implantations all over the outside of my reproductive system and basically glued some of my vital organs and digestive system together. It has also caused an endometrioma 7 cm in diameter to grow on my ovary. While it's a relief to know what has been causing me so much pain over the years, it is terrifying and weighing heavy on my heart. 

Finally, I have scheduled a surgery with a doctor I trust, after falling through the cracks of our wonderful healthcare system for years. She suggests a complete hysterectomy to avoid any further damage to my organs from endometrial implantations, as well as possible reconstructive surgery of my digestive system. My surgery will be on June 21st at Conroe Regional Hospital. 

The money raised with this campaign will be used during the recovery, expected to last about 10 weeks. I will not be able to work until fully healed, so any little bit you can donate really helps. 

If you'd like to come visit me in the hospital please contact me for more details. 

Thanks for all your support.
