So glad we shared a tiny moment at Elizabeth's presentation. And so glad you are recovering! Hearing your story, besides all the awfulness and trauma, what came to mind is that medical phrase "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras." Between my husband, me, and my son, we've had way more than our share of hoofbeats, and I'm starting to think we might be zebras. Somehow it helps me to think we're zebras rather than focusing on how little doctors know. They can be amazing in a crisis, but the rest is such a gamble.
Every time I read something of yours I think to myself, "this one is my new favorite." I had a traumatizing IUD experience as well and this one really resonated with me. Praying for your healing!!
