Dear Pascale, I am so glad that you are up fro writing. But I am sorry to hear about your lower abdominal pain. I had to go back to Germany as well. Not so much for the adhesions but for the entrapped nerve in my vaginal wall. I remember the depression I had when I had to go back on pain meds. The throbbing never realy stopped and Dr. Korell and I fiqued that he was a bit too conservative last year. I did wait over a year to go back, though and praised God everyday for the fact that I was on less that half of the pre Germany pain meds. Going back was hard but I am so glad I did. The nerve is starting to heal and I can go on almost no pain meds now. He was able to get the rest of the adhesions as well. But I can only take baby steps now. He took aut a 3 cm. area of the vaginal wall and put it together with one stitch! Everything I do makes it hurt so I lay around alot. We are very special people in that we have to take every improvement and thank God. I hope that you have the courage to go back to him again. Love, Joanne At Fri, 1 Jun 2001, Pascale Vlaun wrote: >
