Dear Clare:
Feel free to whine, it clears your mind and lets you get on with dealing
with the pain.
As for your doctor's comments on pain clinics, he's probably right. I was
referred to the pain clinic in Saint John back in May, and I'm still
waiting. When I spoke to them in August, they said it would probably be
the first part of 2002.
If at all possible, you want to avoid a laparotomy. The more damage caused
to the tissues through surgery, the higher the risk of adhesions
returning. But before you agree to surgery, ask your surgeon how much
experience he has dealing laparoscopically with adhesions. The pain you
are having with orgasm may not be adhesions, there may be some other cause
for your pain, but your doctor may also be talking through his hat.
Now for your laugh - this morning, I had papers and earth spread on the
floor to re-pot my plants. I also had a pitcher of water sitting there. I
stopped for coffee with the "construction crew", and my cat (12-year-old
tabby) decided she was thirsty and the 2 or 3" of water in the bottom of
the pitcher was fresher than what was in her dish. I got a beautiful
picture of her shoulders deep into a Tupperware pitcher tilted at about a
45 degree angle, quenching her thirst. Believe it or not, when she pulled
her head out of the pitcher, she didn't spill a drop, but set the pitcher
right back the way it had been - minus a bit of water.
Hope that made you chuckle.
