this is bugging me, though

so i have a lot of life-stuff to catch up on here, but i just saw a post on tumblr saying that march is endometriosis awareness month and reminding people who have periods that debilitating menstrual pain is not normal, and if you experience that you should get checked out.

and that reminded me of a conversation that happened the morning of my surgery -- in a "women's hospital", in the minimally-invasive ob/gyn surgical unit. ( cw talk of blood )
