And can't afford to go to the doctor or ER everytime something unexpected comes up? Most of us have gone years undiagnosed so we wasted all that money for nothing, now that we know what is wrong and we see so many others out there with the same problems, we work together like a family, Have you ever heard of that? It is crazy, doctors charge so much for their info, when we can get the info ourselves on the internet. I am willing to try some of the options that my "sisters" post because I am one of those without insurance. We are a family of 5 , 4 horses, 1 dog and a fish living on one income. Make too much for medicaid. go figure. What would you do if you were in the same boat. How many times has a friend of yours suggested a restaurant or vacation spot and you had to try it? same with this adhesion family, it just has to deal with medical stuff.

Dear Linda, Amen, Amen, Amen. I'm trying to stay optimistic.
Now everyone has got me terrified, THEY'll COME BACK. JUST WAIT,
YOU'LL BE IN AGONY AGAIN. I can wait, thank you anyway. I have some pain
naturally after all I went through, but its the weakness that's
really effecting me. The doctor said to figure 6 to 8 months
after suffering peritonitis/appendicitis. So I'm stupid pushing myself,
I know. But there's so much to be done. I think what I'm feeling in
my abdomen is muscles and organs working normally for the first
time in years. It's not agony, just discomfort. I hope you can
get well, dear Linda, I know life is hard. Both my husband's and my
horses died of old age, now we just have the one horse, plus a
herd of sheep and a llama to protect them from mountain lions
and other predators, plus a dog and too many cats to count (LOL).
My cows are gone including my bull, too much for me to handle
right now. I loved the cows, oh well. I'm not in any shape to
be dealing with them and haven't really been involved for awhile.
My husband has had to do it, and he loves organic meat, but isn't
into the whole thing. I don't know why I love cows so much, I guess
its because I grew up on a dairy farm. Take care, sorry to ramble
so much. Love, Sally
