Dear Mary Lou, Hi, it's Sally Grigg. Who did you email?
Maybe because of the Holidays it is taking a little more
time? I went to Dr. Daniel Kruschinski and he is the only
doctor I would recommend at this time. He works out of the
Emma Clinic 1/2 hour from Frankfurt. He has gained quite a
bit of gratitude throughout Europe, but has only had a few
American patients. I feel no adhesions after my surgery with him
after five years of agony and 28 more years of periodic pain and infertility.
My story is on the quilt. Lisa Graven at (Lilylover5555@aol.com)
is his current AAmerican contact. I've been to most of the
specialists here in this country and had those nasty adhesions
back within a week. This time is so different.So keep trying and
please don't give in and accept treatment unless the doctor
is very skilled, doesn't use carbon dioxide with his laproscopic
instruments and uses spray gel. Above all, he needs lots of experience
and he/she needs to keep a post-op survey of patients. If he doesn't
know his statistical success rate you can be almost sure that's
because he has very few successes. Sorry to be so harsh, but truth
is truth. And I'm not a doctor. This is my opinon, having spent a fortune
trying to get well. I also live in California, up in Mendocino Co.
Good luck and keep in touch. Love, Sally
