hystersister

so-so

The annoying thing about this book is I liked the author‘s writing style, and think I would have enjoyed it more if it didn‘t have the sexist and problematic elements. The internalized misogyny grated on me.

I really empathized with Kristen, and 🙌🏽 for a book that talks about periods and chronic illness. As an #endowarrior, I really related to that aspect. But the cool girl trope was 🙄🙄.

CaliforniaCay Ooooh I'm not big on romances but having recently had the big surgery myself I would actually like to read a book that features a character going through that! Stacked! 4y

alisiakae @CaliforniaCay that‘s one of the reasons why I picked it up! I have endometriosis, and had a hysterectomy almost 2 years ago. #hystersister 💞 I would add a TW for fertility issues, ans if it wasn‘t for the afterword, I probably would have hated one of the twists. 4y

CaliforniaCay I'm honestly considering writing a book about my experience with fibroids because I didnt realize how common that and endometriosis were until I went through it. Wish it was discussed more. Any other books you can think of that handle hysterectomy experiences, feel free to tag me! 4y

BayouGirl85 I preferred The Happily Ever After Playlist from this author. 4y

Saga Vol. 9 | Brian K. Vaughan

1. Catching up on Saga!
2. Rest and recovery! Watching The Crown and Unicorn Store with Maya, reading a bit, and if I feel up to it may start a jigsaw puzzle. Plus I brushed my hair this morning! #progress #postop #endowarrior #hystersister
3. Yes! But only when they are still warm.
4. No clue
5. 👍👍

alisiakae @Leftcoastzen @Clwojick I finally convinced hubby to give Saga a chance, he‘s quickly catching up! @ChasingOm I‘m not up for washing it yet, but dry shampoo and a brush felt so good this morning! 6y

Nessavamusic ❤️Saga! 6y

jb72 You‘re ahead of me. I haven‘t brushed my hair yet. 6y

TrishB Take care and plenty of r and r 😘 6y

alisiakae @jb72 it can be a major achievement some days! 😂 @TrishB Thank you! 💞 6y

CouronneDhiver You got me... rushed over to Netflix thinking the next season had been released 👑😂 Can‘t wait 6y

alisiakae @CouronneDhiver Of the Crown? Sorry! It‘s my first time watching. Maya is becoming a bit of an Anglophile, so we‘re watching together (except for one episode in Season 2 which I‘ve heard is NOT kid-friendly)! 6y

CouronneDhiver Yes... definitely avoid that episode... unless you‘re prepared to have a candid birds and bees (and threesomes) conversation. Lol 6y

alisiakae @CouronneDhiver We‘ve already had that convo (not the threesome bit), but that doesn‘t mean I‘m ready for her to watch it play out on TV! 😂 6y

Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women�s Pain | Abby Norman

🎉🎉🎉 I‘m 🏡 from the 🏥 , and it‘s done! Tagged Abby Norman‘s book for those who want to learn more about endometriosis.

This is my 2nd surgery, and I‘m not gonna lie ,it was a bitch. My pelvic region was COVERED with endo lesions, as well as my bladder, which they accidentally nicked while removing lesions. Apparently my uterus was “boggy” too with possible adenomyosis, which they will biopsy. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#endowarrior
#hystersister

alisiakae But I got to keep my ovaries! In all it was a 3 hr surgery and I went home with a catheter for 2 wks because of the bladder repairs. 😫 Thank you to everyone who offered encouraging words lately, it meant so much! 💛💛💛 6y

MaleficentBookDragon I'm glad you're on the mend. I feel you. I had endometriosis. It was a bitch. 6y

AmyG So happy to read you are home. Wishing you a good, quick recovery. 6y

alisiakae @Meee96 Good luck! If you need someone to talk to that‘s been through it before, feel free to email me at abergsman@gmail.com. Are you having an diagnostic laparoscopy and excision surgery?
