Summary
Details

Author Diane Ritter-Gardner shares her story of years lost to unnecessary pain and suffering from what should have been a fairly simple hysterectomy. Instead, the decision to use propylene mesh, and her lack of understanding of the consequences, destroyed her ability to work, enjoy simple joys like working in her garden, taking long walks, and even being intimate with her husband.

She knew something was wrong but after countless doctors, holistic treatments, and even therapy, she was finally able to be heard and have the mesh removed. Though her health has improved, she is still suffering and will never get those years back. She wrote this book in an effort to encourage women (and men) to ask questions and look at their options before making major health decisions.
