Hi Angie!

It has been a very long time since I have written to you. I just wanted to let you know my feelings on the Abdominal Pump. It seems that some of us, myself included, have extreme difficulties when foreign bodies are placed within our abdomens.

This would include mesh for hernias, tissue expanders, adhesion barriers and even parts of our own body. It would be a huge detriment to me to try and place a pump in my abdomen. My doctors have advised me to avoid any and all foreign bodies as they have all caused acute infections within my abdomen.

I am sorry that you are having the difficulties with your bladder. Please let me know if you find anyone out there who helps you. As you know, I am living on borrowed time and need help immediately.

God's blessings to you!

Karla
