Christy, Hugs Hon. I as so many here can totally relate to your story. Having multiple surgeries each time to clean and repair to only have the same thing happen again is very frustrating for both patient and doctor. More us than them though but they become at a loss what to do next, and then find yourself being bumped from doctor to doctor to see what else can be done. Its very frustrating and depressing to say the least, but having friends who truly understand this battle helps alot.. Welcome..Hugs Kimmi
