After giving birth, I endured three rounds of ICU intubation and a body full of blood clots, heart failure, and kidney failure with severe sepsis and pneumonia.
I didn't even get to hold my baby; there was no skin-on-skin – only chaos, panic, and then I didn't wake from my anesthesia. It was a living nightmare.
Each interaction with doctors felt like an absurdist theater play, repeating the same conversations amidst a frustrating spin cycle of information.
Four weeks after my C-section, I was unable to respond smoothly to basic questions, struggling with severe physical and cognitive effects from my medical ordeal.
