Karla, That's a great idea. I have printed that information
I know my regular doctor wants information on this and my surgeon
I'm sure would read over it. He seems to also want to understand
what is going on with these adhesions. He was really surprised
at the extend I had them. I'm going to mail him this information
and since he teachs lap. surgery he would be a great one to send this
information to. It's just too bad more doctors don't want
to learn about this problem. Thanks for your advice!
