Millie, Wow I am so sorry............I have had the worst weekend of my life so far...........I dint feel the worst of the surgery until two days after the surgery, and WHAM bleeding cramping....Unfortunatly I was unable to stay ahead of the pain, and never caught up with it at all... in the end I was able to go to sleep..................this morining I was able to find relief with one pill, (so far) and am hoping for getting the heck out of this bed!!! :) My family (one 19 year old daughter 1 husband) do not seem to know how to act, Yes they are taking care of me but they seem overwhelmed that I am not up and livley.....God knows I have tryed to excape the bedroom and go downstairs only to be chased back like a child (SIGH)..... My mind drifts to What my llife might be like if I go thru with the Hyst.......Will I struggle even more with pain that will be As I see a life sentence to pain.........Will I have to check myself in to the looney bin as the thought of going thru an early menapause, In the precence of my Husband I have nicknamed clingly bear, or my daughter who we will just call greatly obsessed with self.......... At his point there is not much time left for my thoughts as We looked at the pictures he brought to expain the extensive dammage to my insides.. So now It just a matter of WHEN. It is really nice to be able to share, and comfort others who have the same Problem, I find it really hard to even get those closest to undersatand how hard this is for me, they only hear Sick.........If what I face is what you live every day, then lets keep in touch and compare notes !! Brandi P.S sorry so long (i do ramble) To long in bed LOL
