Sue,
I'm sorry you are going through all this living hell.I thoroughly understand
all you are going through having been through the same myself and always
thinking there was definately something wrong that someone was missing.But it
was the adhesions and unfortunately having more surgery only worsened my
pain. I went in for just a Laparoscopy and woke up with an incision 12" down
my abdomen which only created what I am now barely able to hold on to my job
with tons of narcotics to help control my pain to be able to function.I had 6
weeks pain free and everything started all over again. I really feel for you
but the only thing that helped me to be able to sleep without pain is the
meds,heating pads, long hot baths,relaxing,stop lifting and stretching .No
bending no long sitting time,no long standing time,I have to have help to
wash my car,cook,mop,vaccum.I can't ride the lawnmower the vibration
killsme.I can't ride the fourwheeler with my kids.I can't march in the parade
with my son.I can't sit and watch their football games,I can't help my hubby
remodel my sons home.I can sweep but I can't bend down and pick it up with
the dust pan. I feel worthless But I WILL NOT LET THIS DISEASE TAKE OVER ME.
I will survive and you and all of us here will too.We are not alone we are
all here for each other and we will support and pray for each other no matter
what the decision is.Helen Dynda and Gloria are still in Germany I think.They
both just had surgery per Dr Korell and our thoughts and prayers are with
them.And I will pray for yu also that all goes well. Make sure they atleast
attempt to use a barrier and all the necessary precautions to prohibit
further adhesion problems. Go in with your head high and a wonderfully
positive attitude.
Love and Blessings
Lillian
