Disabled & Barren

Many disabled people have children and everyone's family and experience is different. However, many people are unable to have children - biologically or otherwise - due to health issues. I am one of many.

“Brain on Fire” Review

This movie is based on the true story of Susannah Cahalan, a reporter for The New York Post, who suddenly is stricken by mysterious symptoms. It begins mostly with ringing in her ears, difficulty concentrating, and (guessing by her rubbing here eyes exactly how I did prior to surgery) severe pain in her eyes and head.

Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation, put simply, is a procedure where the endometrium is destroyed. The endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterus and the part that thickens to either provide a place for a fertilized egg or be shed as a period.
