January ends today! We’re already one full month into 2020. Where did the time go? How was your first month of this new year? Ups? Downs? Struggles? Victories?

Today’s quote is exactly that: full of ups and downs and a bit of encouragement.

“My life is a roller coaster on golden wheels; IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE PERFECT but I am glad for the perfect moments”
― Daniel Derrick Mwesigye

May your weekend be wonderful. And if it isn’t, and you need someone to talk to, reach out to me. I’m here for you. ❤ And may you find those moments of peace and perfection in your life.

Love, Lisa

PS: I’m in LOVE with today’s photo. The man in the front row compared to the woman in the 4th row speaks volumes. ❤ Ups and downs, indeed!

Blogs I updated this week:

Bladder & Endometriosis – added an Oct. 2019 study of a woman who complained of painful, burning pee. All of her lab tests were normal. An ultrasound and MRI found a mass inside her bladder. Upon removal, it was confirmed as bladder endometrioma.

Endometriosis & The Appendix – added a Nov. 2019 study of a 33-year-old woman who had right-sided pain, nausea, vomiting, and loose stools. Another case of Endometriosis on the appendix!

Inguinal Hernial & Endometriosis – added a Nov. 2019 study of a woman with a suspected inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, or enlarged lymph node. Of course, it was Endometriosis. A second November 2019 study followed a 47-year-old runner with a lump on the right side of her mons pubis that had been painful for six months. I also added a Dec. 2019 study of a 41-year-old woman who complained of a mass near her right inguinal region. Was it a tumor? A recurrent hernia from four years prior? Nope. It was a mass of Endometriosis.
