Hi Jean,

My last surgery was on July 9th. Dr. Rauh in Miles City, MT. He is a very compassionate Dr. Does not believe it's 'normal for women to have pain'. I was so grateful to him. He literally gave me back my life-and 'myself' and I told him so. I was absolutely willing to become his personal slave for the rest of my life I was so grateful to have my health back. He did tell me there are no gaurantees-but did say this surgery went well. He said the reason I was in so much pain after this last surgery was because he had to use larger instruments to deal with the Sepra-film. If the pain starts to return-notice I said IF, not when-I plan on going to one of the doctors I've learned about from this site. (I better start saving my $$ now, LOL) As for the children- the twins came along 10 years after I thought I was done in this department and is what set all these past surgeries (5, so far) off. Thank goodness they are cute as the dickens. I really believe we are only given what we can handle ( I think sometimes God just wants to toughen us up). I never have thought about myself as being a tough woman-but the last two years have changed that somewhat. ( I guess that might be a bit of an understatement) I do not plan on abandoning the IAS site-there are so many people who come on there that I would like to talk with and help in any way I can. I send a short message when I can to the people who really seem to be crying out for help. I wish I could do more. I plan on contacting Bev. D. to see what I can do along those lines. The treatment ( or more accurately-the lack of) that I received on so many numerous occasions and the disrespect I was shown was appalling. These docs really need to be re-educated. Best wishes to you,

love and hugs, Gloria :)
