Fistula Ep 3: The Silence After the Struggle
Manage episode 497697860 series 2120009
“My family knows about this, and they have given me support,” she says. “But it had its challenges. Fistula is very intrusive. There are things many people take for granted. Things such as attending weddings. Attending funerals. Making love... Because even during intimacy, you get leakages," she says, then pauses.
She looks downwards and starts making her way back to her sterile hospital bed from the window. She gets on the bed and lies face up. Her gaze now towards the heavens.
She shuts her eyes and exhales loudly. For the next 20 minutes, the room is pin-drop silent.
