Terry,
I'm so sorry you are suffering so much. I can relate. I have hideously
severe adhesions as well. I am in pain constantly, nothing helps.
Coughiing, sneezing and laughing nearly double me over...feels like a
ripping burning tearing in my abdomen. Mine are due to a botched
surgery to remove my ovaries, the doc punctured my bowel, didn't realize
it, became septic, went into a coma, on a vent, colostomies, central
lines, around 20 surgeries, and much more crap I won't get into. There's
nothing that can be done for me. I'm 40 and feel 80. I can't work, or
exercise (other than slow walking). My life has been really derailed.
I know it's hard to stay strong and fight...I sure get tired of putting
on the "happy face" everyday...but I have a 19 y/o son and a 13 y/o
daughter and a husband and family that need me and want me around...even
if I'm "damaged". You have your family to help get you thru as well!
And grandchildren coming? How awesome! I keep trying to search for
anything that could lessen the pain of this, so far to no avail, but
I'll keep looking. In the mean time, it does help to talk to others who
understand. If you ever need to talk...feel free to email me!
