hi jennifer my name is diana...and i know what you are going through i
had a hysterectomy in sept. 2000 it took 6 1/2 hours i too had severe
endometriosis i had several operations before the hysterectomy to remove
cysts,adhesions and the endo my husband and i went to a fertility doc
who was wonderful and really tried to help me but he said my tubes were
crushed under all the endo he finally told me he couldn't help anymore
and couldn't string me along anymore.i have had 6 surgeries since 2001 i
too am in constant pain it never really goes away. like a fool i
thought if i had everything taken out it would be ok. i feel good after
an operation but 2 months and it starts all over again, i can't keep a
job because i can't work in all that pain. my husband and i are going
under bills are piling up and i can't get a job because my doc is going
to put in an adhesions barrier which he has to open me up to do and it
will take 8 weeks to recover or longer i keep getting operation after
operation every 6 months or so it takes me a little longer to recover
than most people. believe me i dooo know how you feel it is lonely. can
i ask how did you get disability everyone says i should try but
adhesions are not considered a disability i can't walk too far and can't
sit, drive for long periods of time i hate being like this but there
isn't much i can do.but hang in there you are among friends here we all
understand.
take care, diana lamond
