Dear Tammy,

Sounds like we have alot of similarities. I had my hysterectomy in June 2000 thinking that would be the cure all. It wasn't. I really need the school thing right now. I was getting so depressed being at home. It gave me more time to think about my pain. Even though I have a house full of kids, I needed to get out of the house so I wouldn't have the time to think about it. School keeps my mind busy. I really seem to do a little better although it is very difficult sitting in class. Sometimes I feel I am a disturbance to others just because I am constantly shifting in my chair. But this has been a life long dream of mine to be a nurse. I had started right after high school and had to drop out them due to kidney problems. I had missed too much school then. Now here it is almost 20 years later, well 18, but at least I am doing it. So if they can't do the surgery till December, I guess my mind will be busy. I did get an appointment with my gyn for Aug 2. So I guess I will find out more then. I know what you mean about our lives being like a similar thread. And though I hate that all of us are having to go through this, I am thankful that we have each other to talk to. Thank you for listening. I hope that God will give us all comfort as we all pray for a miracle to happen. Take care of yourself and keep that warm caring heart that I can see you have.

Love and hugs, Jenny
