I was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 16 and experienced excruciating pain, which frequently resulted in hospitalization. Despite undergoing two laparoscopic procedures, the condition persists. Unfortunately, it has spread to my intestines and bladder, and surgical removal is not feasible due to the high risk involved. Further evaluation revealed a deformity in my C-section scar, which had not healed properly, and we were fortunate to discover it before it led to a uterine rupture. To address this issue, I will require internal stitches to facilitate healing, which is expected to take three months, with a two-week recovery period for the upcoming surgery. I am hopeful that this will be my final surgical intervention. And I can beat this disease!
I am asking for help as I can not lift anything over 10 pounds and I will need to be careful on my stiches while handling a 8 month old. Thankfully Isaac will be home but taking care of both of us will be hard so we are just asking for a hot meals just for the first few days until I get a better grasp on everything thank you
