Dear Denise, I haven't been responding to very many posts lately because I just cant sit long enough to read them all and then post. I try to keep everyone informed as to what is going on with me. I am having a horrible time sleeping since my hernia surgery in June. I also have pain in my knees caused by my knee cap rubbing on my femur on both knees & depression since pre teen. The last 2-3 weeks, my depression has been high, my pain is much worse & If I can raise the money to go to Germany for more surgery, it will not be until at least January before I can go & get help. While surgery with spraygel may be the answer, not just any surgery will do! First you have to have an expert in adhesions, or you will just keep having surgeries that only last a few months, if that. If you keep having surgery by just any Dr, you will get more & more adhesions & then even the experts will not want to touch you. Also, you can not expect us to just jump when there is a post, that many of us do not have the answers for & then condem us for not answering!! You have a right to live your life the way you want to, but, don't blame all of us for not knowing the answers to your questions. I have been on this board for 2 years, it has been a God send for me. Every one is supportive, but I can't expect them to give me answers that they dont have. robin M
