Last year around June, I had to get an ACL reconstruction surgery,was found with inflamed joints partly due to Endometriosis.
Currently surviving on painkillers to try & live a somewhat normal life.
I know that the economy is tough so will appreciate all your help.
Thank you ๐๐ฝ

Hey everyone, I hope you're okay.
I need your help once again. Been in & out of hospital for some months now, after a number of tests, it's been found that I need a 4th Endometriosis surgery if I am to save my kidneys, bladder, uterers etc.
The target is $10k/UGX 40 million

Having the victim mentality may be the reason as to why you have a hard time healing. Take full accountabity for the part you played in whatever situation you find yourself in and you will be amazed by how easily you get over things.

Don't beat yourself up for not being where you thought you would be, when it's your time, everything will fall into place. The goal is to stay prepared.

Your next level may not require you to become someone else. It may require you to stop shrinking the person you already have the potential to become.
