Hey lovely spoons! 💫
We know how overwhelming it can be to manage chronic illness — between navigating doctors, managing symptoms, and just getting through the day, there's a lot to juggle. So let’s make it easier for each other. 🙌

One day post op after my hysterectomy. The surgeon said I was one of his "most challenging case." It was scheduled at a 30 minutes but I was in surgery for 4 and a half hours!
My parents church send me flowers even though I've only been there a few times.
