Well Karen, please let it out....... :) we are here to listen and to vent.
Thank God people here let us vent. We all understand that we need to vent -
so go for it. This email goes to Karen and Ann-Georga (Hi Ann :) )
I don't know if I'm going to be able to help you with your question or not,
but here it goes......
I've had 8 surgeries for endometriosis/adhesions. The latest one was this
past July with Dr. Redan and Dr. Reich. Man oh man, after that surgery, I
was almost doing cart-wheels! I was so happy to be pain free as I haven't
really been pain free since I could remember. I wanted and did hug both of
the doctors for helping me. (should have seen the faces when I huged them so
tightly) but they let me with smiles on their faces. Then a couple of
months went by and slowly the pain came back. Then hit me like a brick one
day. I did contact Dr. Redan to let him know about the pain. He was very
preceptive to my situation and said come on back maybe there are a couple of
bands that need to be cut.
I'm thankful - so thankful for those painfree days. I had them and I was
lucky! When I tell people this story, I also stress to them that each
person's body is different. There is a different history to each body. I
would never discourage anyone from going to Dr. R&R - my case was a very
severe one, your's could be helped. I will continue to try anything for this
pain and if I didn't try the doctor's then shame on me. Dr. R&R devote their
life for cases as ours and I respect them tremendously for that! Dr. Redan
is very quick to answer emails from all of us and is willing to help our
needs to the fullest.
Again, I hope my posting helped. Please feel free to ask away, as I'll be
here for you........
Hugs and Love,
