" After Georgette was born in 1970, Mom had a couple of surgeries---first an appendectomy and then a hysterectomy. Apparently she didn't heal properly on the inside. Adhesions, and later keloids, formed in her lower abdomen, causing a number of complications, including bowel obstructions and severe pain. Adhesions, according to my medical dictionary, are fibrous bands of scar tissue that bind together normally separate anatomical structures. Keloids are raised, red formations of fibrous scar tissue caused by excessive tissue repair." ( from Page 86-87)
Since my own problems with adhesion related disease began about the time that Tammy had her first surgery, I was particularly interested in being able to read about Tammy's ordeal with adhesions.
