My Story
20-Year Military Veteran & Founder of Annie’s Tidbits
“Ok! Jump up and go to the bathroom.” I thought when I awaken from surgery. But, my body said, “Oh No!” As I lie paralyzed with pain. Such pain I never knew existed. Worst than child birth. Yes, with normal child birth, the pain was temporary with some soreness to follow. Was this a bad decision? After all, I’m Annie Hairston, 5’3”, if standing very tall, and a 20-year military veteran. I knew no such pain or illness the entire tour of duty.
The doctors didn’t prepare me for this life after surgery. Nor, for the complications that followed. The extreme constipation due to heavy pain meds, the irritable bowels due to the infection in the incision, and the embarrassing incidents to follow.
