Good Luck to all going for their surgery. I really do pray that you have success and can come home virtually painfree. I do have to say that the fact that you are all going makes me angry! Not at you of course...and do not feel bad. I am just angry because I have been working on this one stupid surgery for well over a year now....I do not feel any closer today than I did then. I feel that by now I should have been through the recovery and on my way to getting my adhesions taken care of. Maybe I should have gone back to my surgeon in Milwaukee.....because at least he would have offered me a possible chance to have had some improvement versus having absolutely no answers and having to continuously jump through all of these stupid hoops down in Chicago. And I am doing it alone. My doctor here says he will call them...but he never does. I tell the doctors they need to move on this....but as you can tell nothing seems to matter. Why am I now going to a pain clinic? If they would do the surgery we wouldn't have to worry about the pain...and if there was still pain afterwards....then send me to see the pain clinic. I know that there are plenty of others going through their own pain.....and I sympathize with you all immensely. But, despite your kind words I feel deserted. feeI that the people who were here to support me have moved on....maybe because they can't help? I understand your frustrations with not being able to help me....but can you understand mine? Where are you? Be honest with me. Before everything happened in July I heard from all of you.....now I only hear from those who are pretty much new to this group. Okay, maybe I am having poor me syndrome today. Maybe I took for granted the support that I was getting. I tried to offer support to everyone in this group, but I have had to step back from all of that because I don't have it in me. I am sorry. I don't mean to be negative....it is just that I came to depend on your support and I am in withdrawal. I feel so alone.

To all of you newer people that have reached out to me....I am forever grateful. The support you give has kept me here...even if I have not responded.

May God Bless each and every one of you.
