An Unsilenced Survivor Story

I woke up in the middle of it, it looked like I was in a parking garage that was at the hospital due to the lights. I started crying because I didn’t understand what was going on.

My memories are fuzzy, but I’ll say what I can remember. I don’t know how old I was but I was very young. My mom took me to the DR a lot because of unexplained UTI’s, and so they had me go to an appointment where they’d sedate me and circulate a glow in the dark fluid to see what happens with my kidneys, urethra, vagina, etc. when I peed to see if I had any problems. Me being a little kid I was excited to get to ride in the ‘hospital bed’. I don’t remember much until during the procedure I woke up in the middle of it, it looked like I was in a parking garage that was at the hospital due to the lights. I started crying because I didn’t understand what was going on. The doctor says “it’s okay just go potty in the princess potty!” And that’s all I remember.
