On this day of thanks, here is a list of things I'm thankful for:
...and finally, for you, for sharing, collaborating, following, and supporting.
Thank you.
- my diagnosis, for putting a name to my symptoms and giving me the power to research my disease and advocate for better care
- my health team, for helping me navigate a complicated jumble of symptoms
- my excision surgeon, for listening, teaching, empathizing, effectively treating, and continuing care
- my Endo Sisters, for supporting me and helping me learn new ways of coping
- my family, for believing me when I said I was sick and understanding when I'm not well
- my husband, for walking with me through my darkest days and caring for me even when it's not easy
- my friends, the ones who have stuck around, for picking me up when I'm feeling down, and excusing cancelled plans because you know I'd rather be with you than sick in bed
- my community, for all the mentors, researchers, and warriors fighting for a better tomorrow for women like me
...and finally, for you, for sharing, collaborating, following, and supporting.
Thank you.
