How I’m Recovering After Fibroid Surgery

Several factors lead me here.

It’s likely that I’ll come back and edit this but for now it felt urgent to get this out.

Keep a pillow close to hold against your incision when you need to cough, or sneeze.

Use the spirometer. You don’t want to end up with pneumonia on top of all this.

Also take special care, getting in and out of bed. Try to resist hunching over, and walk every day.

These things helped me get through it. I hope you find them useful.

Myomas: The Diagnosis That Changed My Life. (Part 1)

I believe the general silence around this issue is surely linked to the limited research and resources for something that touches the lives of 80% of black women and 70% of white women.

Many women are asymptomatic (meaning they experience no symptoms) and can go through life never noticing them. The rest of us are not so lucky.
