Will I Beat Endo Today?
I am writing this at the very end of April but this is will be posted the day I have expert Endometriosis excision.
Writing this I am terrified and exhilarated. My heart is racing and my hands are shaking. I am cautious and hopeful. I am a juxtaposition in human form.
This is being posted at 8 AM which means I will be in the hospital, waiting for surgery to start around 9 AM. I will post an update when I can, and I really pray that they find Endo and they get it out of me. I have been struggling with this disease for well over a decade and especially these last few years.
I hope today is the first step toward healing, towards more quality of life, towards better. Even if it is not, at least I will have done all I can and I know I have the most amazing support system.
I feel like a stranger
Standing in my own skin.
Scars from surgeries
Wiped from my memory,
Parts taken out of me,
Pathologies that have
Changed everything
Yet nothing about me.
