ALT THE TOLL: When a permanent medical injury leaves you housebound, your daily world shrinks to absolute silence. I rarely speak to anyone out loud. My husband is not a chatterer. While my mind is running 24/7 writing texts, articles, and posters for our global campaign, the physical muscle of verbal speech simply goes out of practice from years of pure disuse. When suddenly faced with a room full of fast, loving conversation, my voice just couldn't keep up with my brain. THE IMPACT: The medical system doesn't just steal your physical health; it steals your community, forcing thousands of thriving women into a lifetime sentence of silent, un-tracked isolation. Why most men and women are left without comfort or questions from the medical community is because acknowledging our full-body decline means admitting a catastrophic, multi-decade institutional failure.
