I’m not sure this technically counts as nocturnal, since the sun technically woke up 25 minutes ago, but I’ve been awake since 6 am since I went to bed at 9:30 pm last night. So I’ll count it anyway. Yesterday I received my operative report from the CEC in the mail. I always like…
Day 7: What is the biggest realization you have had?
It makes me so sad to see my endo sisters struggling. Suffering. In pain. Whether it be on other blogs, Facebook, or Twitter. I see it day in and day out. One recovering from surgery at about the same pace I am, but is now dealing emotionally as well as physically with the loss…

Day 2: How have these illnesses affected your life? Ha. Ha. Ha. Shortest blog post ever. Rather than rehash everything again, I can’t say anything better than I already have. So click away.
