Hey, it's Mia
I have already talked about this with some people but I think I'm okay with sharing this, a recent post wanted to know why I take a long time to change and the thought came across that it's okay to share this with everyone.
I usually don't like the feeling of talking about this as a public post, but here it goes.
what happened was when I was small I got a bacterial infection and it got really bad and long story short I went into sepsis. Both my legs were amputated above the knee..... The doctors did all they could to keep me alive so at least I came through that episode. That's also how I became incontinent because of a lot of tissue damage in that area. I mean I don't remember much myself but it was a mess down there and I went through multiple surgeries to minimize some of the damage.
Going for further surgery is quite a risk for me since my last surgery to have a artificial sphinctor to control my bowels failed and went sideways.... It's part of the reason why I haven't been able to get a colostomy yet. Not sure if I ever can..... Anyway I just wanted to share this with everyone.
I'm okay with any question but really I prefer everyone to be cool about it..... Physically I'm okay now and other than the incontinence and the mobility issues I'm okay physically.
