Crohn's Disease: Ostomy Surgery, or Death
On today's episode the Bitches bring on a badass chick. Jessica Grossman, the founder and spokesperson of Uncover Ostomy, was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease at the age of 8. Between the ages of 11-13, she was bedridden in the hospital. After countless diets, torturous tests, and medications with side-effects worse than the disease itself, Jessica had to make a choice. Ostomy surgery, or death.
On January 30th, 2003, Jessica underwent ostomy surgery as her last hope. During the episode we talk about the challenges of having an “invisible” illness. Jess is an open book and answers all of our questions with humor, grace and humility. You do not want to miss this episode so tune in or miss the F out. Love you. Mean it
