Whew.....This one was a doozy! Have a very comfortable seat before you listen to this candid confession vlog. I've never hidden the fact that my uterus hates me. I've even, often, described it as homicidal! If I could sum up my experience with endometriosis in four words, they would be: stacked against the odds.

This makes sense to me in a few ways: 1) I was "luckily" diagnosed early, because it takes an average of 10 years to be diagnosed with endometriosis. 2) Endometriosis caused a very rare complication during my only successful pregnancy TWICE, because placental abruptions occur in less than one percent of ALL pregnancies, but I had TWO during ONE pregnancy. 3) I was never supposed to get pregnant in the first place, I nearly did not make it multiple times, and I survived only to face much worse complications in the days ahead. But this is just the video about my experiences with Endometriosis. I've lived with this chronic illness since my very first ****, and it effects every single aspect of my daily life now.

However, my time has finally come for a hysterectomy on March 15th, 2019. This will not cure my Endometriosis, but it should make it possible for me to experience a much higher quality of life than I had previously, and hopefully with a much lessened degree of daily chronic pain. Who knows! I've conquered many unbeatable odds before, maybe my Endometriosis will be almost entirely eradicated with removal of my angry uterus, broken fallopian tubes, and painful cervical ectropion.
