Welcome, welcome!!! I feel like we heve an insider in with our group now...can't wait for you to report to us about the new oral medication that disolves adhesions in 10 days or less!...oh, how I only wish it were true that a drug like that was in the 'pipeline'!
You said you are planning your 43rd surgery, I am amazed that you have endured so many. When is this surgery scheduled...I will be sure to send you extra hugs and love that day!
Love,
Janet
