Our Time of the Month's video: Part II: Hysterectomy Excision Surgery Prep

After years of ‘dealing’ with painful periods, recurring GI issues, and chronic pain, I will be having a hysterectomy and excision surgery for suspected endometriosis & adenomyosis. In today’s video I explain how I'm preparing my body and surroundings for recovery. Unfortunately, these chronic conditions are still drastically underrepresented in society, but by sharing and being open about this situation I hope you feel less alone. I’m extremely grateful to the friends, family, and medical professionals who have helped/are helping me navigate this process. Please be patient with us if there is a slight lull in our regular content.
