Severals months ago, I wrote the following. Let's take a survey of the amount of time we are pain free after our adhesion surgeries? I have actually been trained in statistics and have had a survey paid for and published under the auspices of PBS a long time ago, so I know the inadequacies of what I'm doing better than anyone, but after I sent out the following request, I was asked to stop as another survey was being done. Well, lets do my little "mickey mouse" one anyway. A few of you have already responded. Its open ended. Just e-mail me. This is not about stopping having surgery. I found out during my recent surgery that they were winding around my intestines and it was just a matter of time before they would have blocked me off completely. So here goes. Remember there is no time limit, but I'd like to have some anwsers by Christmas. That's a joke, I think.. Love you all, Sally
