是以，一雙高跟鞋或一雙喬丹鞋，我24歲的時候就很活躍，健康的月經真的很重，所以我會使用超強吸收力的棉條。

It was just a normal day in october and then I started feeling a little off, like something that just ran me over when they found me, I was face down on my bedroom floor, they rushed me to ST john's and they found the tampon they sent into the lab and as soon as it came back, came back as TSS one just toxic shock syndrome, they basically gave me a 1% chance of survival and told my mom to prepare my funeral.

那只是10月的一個普通日子，然後我開始覺得有點不對勁，就像有什麼東西把我撞倒了，當他們發現我時，我臉朝下躺在臥室的地板上，他們急忙把我送到聖約翰醫院，他們發現棉條被送進了實驗室，結果一出來，就發現是TSS一隻是中毒性休克綜合症，他們基本上給我1%的生存機會，讓我媽媽為我準備葬禮。

第一個女人，我走的是品牌烏鴉床墊，我用的是吸盤，這意味著它只是通過吸力和襯墊來固定。

As I was walking, I could feel the legs slipping in my head.

I linked up with Congresswoman out of New York City.

Her name was Carolyn Maloney and she has been trying to pass a bill for almost a decade named after a woman who died of toxic shock syndrome in 1988.

她的名字叫卡羅琳-馬洛尼，近十年來，她一直試圖通過一項以1988年死於中毒性休克綜合症的婦女命名的法案。

It's called the Robin Danielson Act.

它被稱為羅賓-丹尼爾森法案。

And it's basically just for us as women to know what's going on are feminine hygiene products, what my bill does, it requires the National Institute of Health too.

基本上只是為了讓我們女性知道女性衛生產品的情況，我的法案所做的，也要求國家衛生研究所。

Keep data on how many people are stricken with it, how many people die with it.

保存有多少人患病，多少人死於這種疾病的數據。

And to do research on what is in tampons.

We have done more research on coffee filters and we've done on a tampon.

We need to force government to collect the data.

我們需要迫使政府收集這些數據。

But of all the bills that I've worked on, it's been most difficult to pass bills that affect women who knows how many women have been affected and lost their lives and haven't been able to use their voice or speak about it.

但在我所做的所有法案中，通過影響婦女的法案是最困難的，誰知道有多少婦女受到影響，失去了生命，卻無法使用她們的聲音或談論它。

Well, we're gonna do this together, We're in for the long run.

好吧，我們要一起做這個，我們要長期堅持下去。

Okay, great.

好的，太好了。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

Mhm, mm hmm.

嗯，嗯嗯。

My favorite thing that's happened this whole trip really, to be honest, is meeting with the congresswoman because that was too long of a wait and we finally did it and it's so awesome and she's so awesome and I feel like that's really going to get the stink pumping and get some motion.

說實話，這一路上發生的我最喜歡的事情是與國會議員見面，因為那是一個太長的等待，我們終於做到了，它是如此令人敬畏，她是如此令人敬畏，我覺得這真的會讓人感到臭味相投，得到一些感動。

So mission accomplished on that.

所以這個任務已經完成。

The biggest thing I've taken away from my whole experience on just the way this trip has been.

我從整個經歷中得到的最大收穫就是這次旅行的方式。

But I think just trusting the process, believing in yourself believing in your journey things that you maybe want to do or achieve.

It's possible.

這是有可能的。

You just gotta keep the fire alive.

你只是要保持火力。
