Hey Wendy, Thanks so much for taking the time to write to me. I really appreciate it. I feel better already but don't think I am depressed. I cried a lot right after the hyster, but its been a long while since I've cried. I have also since, been back to see my family doctor. She gave me more pain meds, enough for 2 months and was very nice to me considering. She was also happy to hear that I am back to work full time. Starting tomorrow my work benefits start to kick in, so I'll be able to afford to go to an osteopath (at my doc's request/suggestion), one that specializes in chronic pain....Yay! So far those of you that have replied to me (including yourself) really have helped me tremendously, Wendy with your story with yours & Kathleen, you are absolutely amazing, bless your hearts both of you and everyone else here. Its a real comfort to know you all tho and I will start adding you kind peeps to my prayer list. Kind Regards Wendy
