“I welcome you on this journey with me. I thank you for sticking with me and supporting me, listening to me talk about this because it's so interesting how a good chunk of the population has a uterus, and yet conditions of the uterus are very under-researched, under-studied. Up until even a few years ago, have just been considered something that's in the person's head — Hysteria, if you will.” — Emily, 17 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics, and exciting announcements — Sign Up for the Monthly Newsletter! ** In this episode: Introduction to Emily, her Adenomyosis journey up to this point, and her countdown to eviction day — her hysterectomy!
