Hi everyone!
Its Lisa in New York City here. I havent posted in a while.
I believe my last post was to tell everyone how wonderful
it was to be pain free after my second operation in 10 months.
Well, it has now been 10 weeks since my last operation and
BAM! the pain has returned. For the first time in my life
I am menstrating every 28 days and was hopeful that the
future would bring me lots of babies. I only felt pain and it
was brief and not so intense during ovulation and the first
day of my period. Now unfortunatly, the pain has returned for
about one week. It is worse than before. This is the type
of pain I had months after my first operation...now it is so
bad Ive been vomiting and suffering from Diarhea. Im feeling
discouraged. I know my case isnt as bad as most of yours
so I refuse to feel sorry for myself.
I can say some good has resulted. The pain I had in my belly
button from adhesions resulting from operation #1 is gone and I
do believe for good! That pain was horrific so I am grateful
for that. During my first operation the blood supply to my ovary
was removed so it is likely that this is a primal cause to my
current state, I only pray adhesions are nut a result. I chose
a surgeon so carefully and I do believe he did a wonderful job.
I just want children so badly it scares me to think that it
could never happen BUT as I said I refuse to give up!
To Sally and everyone: As I said most of you are much worse than
I am, so please know you are in my thoughts and my heart everyday.
I wish you great peace and numerous pain free days.
