Hey Flick,

I envy your ability to be as adventurous and as active as you are! The biggest problem with adhesions is we all lament that which is lost to us....our mobility or our prior lifestyle.... you have some SERIOUS thinking, reading and researching to do. Read the adhesions quilt, read my story on my web site, under Our Stories. No one here can give you the absolute answers you are looking for..... other than the Lord himself, and as you know..... he isn't easy to get that kind of information out of *sigh*.

I am sorry about your dancing, I can imagine that is a huge loss to you & it would be hard to live without...all those hours of practice etc.

Please don't....don't ever think that your changed lifestyle and pain is any less than any of us here.... so please do not feel embarrassed for lamenting the loss of things in your life that are important to you...

We all have activities or even careers that we have had to give up on because of our pain and injuries. This kind of decision is only something YOU can make.... but you are hiking? wow I wish!! Surfing *sigh* I can understand that one...was a bit of a surfy chic in my time ....hense the name of my adhesions site for aussies named after my favourite surfing beach....http://www.bombobeach.com

Flick, it is a balance of what you have now & know, what you had before and what you might retrieve....or loose with further surgery that you have to consider. Ask us questions please, the only stupid question as far as I see it is one not asked..... read the messages of pain and tragedy, of families struggling with the loss of a way of life...adhesions and pain don't just affect the sufferer........ adhesions affects everyone in your inner circle, your life partner, if you have one yet,... your parents, brothers & sisters....everyone Flick including your mates, your friends....they are all changed to you by the change in your lifestyle due to the restrictions adhesions have already put on you.

I don'tknow how else to say this but straight up....if it was me in your shoes, still so active and mobile...I would leave well enough alone.... BUT..... remember that is what I would do..... only you can choose Flick, only you and your doctors....best of luck, please keep in touch & let us know what you decide to do...... whatever path you choose, we will be with you 100%!
