Hi Sherri,

I know chris does not like my gyn, but he was the dr I am used to yesterday, his bedside manor is fantastic, and he understands how I feel.

The drs have told me I am very high risk for obstructions, so that is why they want me to take senkot daily to move bowels everyday, now the laxatives are not working, and I HATE prunes, but I can drink prune juice, today I have a lot of pain, I expected more relief from the oxycontin, she has me on 10 mgs, every12 hours, and I almost called her today, painclinic, and tell her how bad I feel, but I will see how tomorrow goes.

chris, I know you say that my gyn thinks he cannot get the scope in, and everytime eny gyn has tried to do one they can only get it in so far, the adhesions from the pictures,,I saw are VERY thick, now I understand, they were like that after only four months, and he said they should not be like that, it usually takes years for adhesions to get that dense.

I do have all my faith in him, and when the time comes he will do the surgery, as long as I never obstruct!

Sherri, keep me informed on how you are doing too!

Toni
