Hi ladies, I'm also a college student and missing classes has been a problem the past few years. It's really hard because some profs are really understanding, but some just look at you as if you're making excuses. It is important to remember that health should come first, but it's difficult, i've found, because that usually means that things won't end up going to my original plan. I'm already a year behind, i should be graduating this spring, but last year had to take a year off. Because of endo of course. Bleh. I'm just punching through as hard as i can, but I'm wondering if at some point i'll just collapse. I'm feeling like I need another lap, but I don't feel like I have the time to actually have surgery and recover from it. We'll see I guess. Try and stay strong. Hang in there.
