Hi Elieen, ")
Sweets, I'm so sorry to read your post and feel your pain. I have you on my
very long prayer list and will ask God to heal you and away, away, with all
your boo-boos!
I know exactly what you mean about your naval pain. The pain I had in my
naval and it's surrounding areas suck like a lollipop! Last May I had
surgery in Scranton, PA and they had a hard time going through my naval
during the laparoscopy so they had to go through my sides and take down the
adhesions just to get to go into my naval.
You may have severe adhesions surrounding your naval as I did. Let me tell
you, after my surgery the pain I had prior was dull. It was so good to be
able to eat again and not have that devil pain around my naval. However, I
do have the pain in the same area, but not as bad as prior my surgery! ")
Are you thinking of surgery just to at least dull that pain in and around
your naval? I tossed surgery around and around in my head - of course more
surgery, more nasty adhesions. But I thank God I did have the surgery. At
least I was almost pain free for 2 months, and the pain in my naval is dull
not piercing and razor blade hurting.
Please let me know how you're doing....here's my hand reaching out to yours -
please grab on and together we'll make it. ")
Love and hugs coming your way Eileen,
