UPDATE ON MY CYSTECTOMY HEALING JOURNEY *Disclaimer: I don't claim to be a writer. I am better at singing and dancing. I just like sharing!
HEALING FROM AN |
The swelling has gone down considerably. I miss having "harder abs" (insert monkey face with hands over mouth emoji here) - but once my insides are completely healed, I'm going to start getting toned again! Maybe this time, I can have some kind of a "six-pack". WOO HOO! Either way, I'm on the mend and I'm excited that I will be able to move more freely in my artistic expression. |
I started following a few Holistic Doctors on instagram about a year ago or so. I began my new "vegan" or shall I say, "plant based" journey at the beginning of 2018. First, I stopped eating chicken and red meat and then transitioned to not eating seafood. This new journey brought with it a deeper interest in holistic medicine, which is how I found these awesome doctors! | ![]() Photo courtesy of rawpixel As some of you may know, my mother is a Leukemia survivor. She was diagnosed in 2006, two weeks after my dad passed away unexpectedly. |
Dr. Jess MDOne of my fave go-to IG doctors! She is full of knowledge and comes across as very personable. I love how she interacts with her followers! |
Dr. Fiona McCulloch is a Toronto Naturopath with over 17 years of experience in PCOS, Thyroid and Hormonal issues. She is a huge advocate of natural medicine therapies and is an advisor to Open Source Health, which is geared toward women's health. |
Sometimes the pain was overwhelming but for a short period - maybe a day or less. But I learned to deal with it. Fast forward to a year and half later. I was taking a nap on Sunday afternoon, when I had another dream. This time in the dream, I was babysitting for me ex-husband with my sister Nelly. Suddenly, I felt something coming out of my right side. As the object emerged from a large gaping hole on my right side (where my ovary is), I was bleeding profusely from the wound. In my hand I held what seemed like a large portobello mushroom. | I was crying and telling everyone that I was dying. Nobody seemed to understand me, but the large mushroom object in my hand was very bloody and I felt I was losing consciousness. I woke up while actually crying and holding an imaginary object in my hand. At this point I decided if I have any more pain, I would go to the E.R. |
Laparascopic SurgeryYou can understand the joy and excitement amidst the anxiety of finally being in my hospital gown the morning of surgery! This was my road to becoming whole again - well, it a not so whole anyway - because I was going to have a possible ovary removed. |

#3 NATURAL XYLITOL DENTAL FLOSS
I looked a lot of places for an all-natural dental floss because all the others I've used have been jacked up with chemicals. I found this little awesome gem on amazon as well! Why do I like this particular dental floss?

# 4 BAMBOO TOOTHBRUSHES
Want an effective toothbrush that is kinder to the environment? You've got to try these! They are not a 100% biodegradable but until I find a better one, I will use these because they are definitely better than the plastic, expensive toothbrushes I've used in the past. When I do, I will make a post about it! Here is why I liked these:
You can get them from amazon too! Get them here. |
