Planning My Healing

March 15, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

As you may remember, I had surgery in January to see if endometriosis was the cause of my chronic pain. The answer was “yes!” and… there was more to the story, as I learned at my post-op appointment. I’ve made a big decision, and like I did with my first surgery, I’m already planning my… Continue reading Planning My Healing

Stop Comparing

February 25, 2021July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I remind myself on a daily basis to stop comparing. Stop comparing my symptoms to theirs. And, stop comparing my success (or lack thereof) to theirs. Stop comparing my life to theirs.  It's time to stop comparing It started with my surgery in January. I shared that I had a laparoscopic procedure to see what… Continue reading Stop Comparing

This week I learned something really important: I am my own advocate. Last week I shared about many of my wonderings around my health. Specifically I mentioned that I wanted to learn more about endometriosis because the reading I’ve done feels familiar and closer to an answer than I’ve had in years.

Just Wondering

November 8, 2019July 3, 2022 Anne Brock

I’m just wondering… I'm just wondering if I knew then what I know today, would I have done things differently? If my doctor told me when I was 18 that birth control might affect my fertility, would I have made a different choice? Would I have worried about my future as a parent or was… Continue reading Just Wondering
