Njambi Koikai gives update on her condition while in hospital

It's been a month of raising awareness on Endometriosis and I don't think it should stop there. I think we should raise awareness all year round.

Update: Been in hospital for over two weeks now. I had 4 chest tubes inserted and needed a walker to go to the bathroom and for physiotherapy. I will not describe the pain because I lack words that aptly fit what I've been through. So the endometriosis in my uterus, bowel area and ovaries was completely removed. The biggest challenge has been my lungs. The endometriosis had spread so much and the scar tissue plus the placement of wrong chest tubes back at home created this mess. My cardiothoracic surgeon here cannot believe all that had been to my chest and right lung area.
