Dear Pascale,
I have just returned form surgery in Germany.
There is no reason to be nervous. Dr. Korell is the best and
you will not be alone. Elke is there with you and she is
just a wonderful person. Things are very different there,
however but be sure to pack all your important things on
your carry on. My suitcase was stolen on arrival and I had to
buy all new clothes and borrow from Elke. The weather should be
getting better now but it is still cold. I have realy rested
now that I am home. I still have pain but that is because Dr.
Korell took out a large amount of tissue from my vaginal wall
which contained a neuroma. (mass of nerve). It was my 6th surgery
since my hysterectomy and i believe it will be my final. You will love
Dr. Korell and your entire experience. Best of Luck, Joanne
