Kathy,
Oh I am so very happy for you!!! See you are singing our song!
You write the words Melissa spoke so many times, "No one
can help me, I will always be sick"...............thank God and again
thanks to Dr. Kruschinski--another gold medal!! Hooray!!
Kathy, I know how you feel--there is no way to express your
gratitude to Dr. Kruschinski. I told him one thing I could promise,
he will never lack for work, as I will continually tell the story......
and I do so every single day! I know there are so many people
that are living a diagnosis that is incorrect and many others that know
they have adhesions, but they submit to repeated surgeries
(many unknowingly) that make them worse.........we must shout it
from the rooftops......
I get sooooo excited reading your e mail--it is victory all over
again.....I've never met you---but I share your joy!!
It is a good day!! So happy for you!!
Karen

I am very happy to report that I am home from Seligenstadt Germany and
that I am adhesion free!!! Dr. Kruschinski makes miracles happen or
maybe God has made miracles happen through him. In either case, I am so
happy I went to Germany. It was a wonderful trip and a successful
surgery. I found his nurses and the staff at the Emma Klinik to be
highly skilled and very compassionate. Everyone cared so much and
wanted us to be comfortable. The setting is perfect. The tree lined
Main River moves past the balcony window and provides a soothing
experience for your recovery. We watched every ship that pasted
wondering what their story was. The time went so quickly. The town is
charming and there were different activities most days in the town
square..ie antique show, farmers market, international singers. It
rained often but that made the area a beautiful shade of green.
This was my 9th and 10th(second look)surgery. The constant pain that I
have had since my hysterectomy in 1997 is gone. I still have some
surgery pain but I expect it to be gone soon. The gasless surgery,
SprayGel and Dr. Kruschinski are the answer. He is so committed to his
patients ....he checked on me daily. This was unbelievable to me! I
have never had that kind of attention. A big "thank you" to my cousin
Margaret, who went with me. It was so great to be waited on at every
turn.
I want to thank Lisa for pioneering these trips and for writing a very
helpful summary, Karen for taking the time to answer so many questions
when she was dealing with a death in the family, Dawn for mentioning the
words "nerve entrapment" in her post(and answering questions)and Pat C.
for inspiring me to rethink my position on having another surgery. The
person I am most grateful to is Dr. Kruschinski! He is so kind,
dedicated, compassionate, intelligent and most of all skillful. His
surgery has given me back my life ...something I didn't think was
possible. I had come to the conclusion that I would always be sick and
that no one could help me. How do you thank someone for the best gift
you have ever received? Dr. Kruschinski is making people well!!! I pray
everyone will have this opportunity.
Sincerely, Kathy
