I was glad to hear that you are doing well after your surgery. I have been having alot of back pain all the way down into my butt. It seems like I get it more when I am up alot. I have been down for almost 2 months. I also have a feeling like everything is being shoved up under my ribs. Yesterday I think I really over did it because I started having pain in my lower left side and groin area like before the surgery. I am praying that that is all it is and not adhesions forming there again. I have pain in the groin area and the lower left side. This is where alot of my pain is when I have adhesions. The other is in my back. I seem to have trouble with the rectum getting stuck to things and that is what causes the pain in my lower back and butt. When I had this last surgery my rectum was being pulled and had attached itself to the top of my vagina. ISn't that just lovely? Doesn't paint a pretty picture, does it? You might want to ask your doctor about that groin pain. FOr me that is all too familiar with my adhesions. That doesn't mean that it will be the same for you. It could just be that the ligament in that area was pulled or maybe some nerves there were disturbed. I pray that is all it is. When do you go for a post-op visit? I don't go for another week and a half. Keep me posted.
I have a wonderful honey too. My husband, Ted, who has stood by me through it all. I am blessed to have such a wonderful man. He was an answer to my prayer. And believe me I was specific on what I prayed for. He is all that and more! Our 15th wedding anniversary is Thursday. It seems like only yesterday! Time sure does fly when you get out of school. Give each other a hug for me. I will talk to you soon.
Love, Jenny
