“I have endometriosis (which was already a problem because I would have sudden heavy, painful periods) and had a hysterectomy with additional large resection areas. Healing included super painful cramps, especially when I had to use the bathroom. I got caught in downtown Brooklyn on a busy weekend midday and no one would let me use their bathroom even when I said it was an emergency. I gave up and had a 30 minute subway ride home that felt like my entire abdomen was filled with razors. I barely missed having an accident by 10 seconds.”
