Venting is good. Especially here rather than
in your doctor's office.
I have a question though. Usually, adhesions are
not removed but clipped leaving two odd ends
looking for a home. Are you sure they were actually
removed? Because part of my problem is that over
50 adhesions were clipped, left dangling and that
meant over 100 ends went searching for a new
place to attach themselves. That's one of the reasons
doctors are reluctant to do surgery for adhesions.
They reform/reattach causing more problems than
before.
I have two children, 11 years apart, before I was
your age. My best thoughts are with you as you
begin your family.
