Geaux Health Matters
Updated: Nov 1
The new year has begun and many of us have started our 2023 with resolutions and high expectations. The beauty of a new year is the opening for so many new and fresh opportunities. As I began this new year, I made it my mission to start off on the road to good health. For the past years, I have struggled with my health. Dealing with severe anemia, I made a decision recently that is destined to change my life.
On January 3rd, I had a full abdominal hysterectomy. Suffering with fibroids, an oversized uterus, cysts, adenomyosis and anemia, I had been running on empty for far too long. Originally, I was slated to have this surgery in January of 2022 but I cancelled the procedure at the last minute. Statistically, African-American women generally do not receive fair medical treatment. I know from personal experience that some doctors simply do not listen to us which makes us reversely distrustful of medical professionals as a whole.
