Angela I totally feel your pain. My children were almost taken from me this year by social services because I was in the ER so much and accused of being a drug addict. I was fortunate because the judge read a typed outline of the hell I have lived the past two years (since an unnecessary laparoscopy) and also a decription of adhesions that my husband wrote up. The judge shamed social services for bringing a sick mother into his court and said that it should have never even come to his court room because he didn't know how I live a day, an hour , a minute or a second in this kind of pain and dismissed the case. It cost me $9000 for a lawyer though as a back up so I didn't lose my children because no one unless they live it or live with someone with it could imagine what this feels like. It is a deep dark hole of despair. I almost feel like someone who is paralyzed my brain wants to go and my body just can't and pain killers rarely do anything. If you would like I can email you the outline we brought of my hospitalizations and the description of adhesions so you can give them to you lawyer. Maybe it would help you. I don't know. I think doctors know this is seriously painful but hey they are lining their pockets with money at your expense so what do they care?! My email is kimberlyecanonico@hotmail.com
