Hi Cheryl,
As far being cranky, heck, I was cranky before my surgery because I was
never feeling well enough. And I know what you are going through as far
as your work not being kept up with while you are having surgery and
trying to recover. Sympathy? I think people just don't realize what we
are going through. I had surgery earlier this year to have adhesions
removed. At the time of my surgery, I did not know I had adhesions. I
had all sorts of nightmares about what could be wrong, though my Gyno
did say it was most likely scar tissue. When my husband called my work
after surgery to give an update, one girl he talked to started telling
people that the doctor didn't find anything. I know she was referring
disease such as tumor and such, but it made me angry anyway. The doctor
did find something, adhesions, which are painful and cause many
problems.
Anyway, enough of my nagging about my experience. Hope your surgery
fixed all your problems and you will not have to deal with the pain
anymore.
Hang in there and keep your chin UP!
Heike
