Dear Ruth, many thanks for your input on this subject. I went to my pre-op
check today but they couldn't really tell me anything new. I signed my
consent form with included laparotomy?, they said this was just incase they
can't continue the operation via the laparoscopy. so fingers crossed etc.
everything will go as planned. Today has been a stressful day and I'm glad
now it's over, but I will be even more pleased when this operation is over!
Thank you once again for answering my email, it really helps to know you are
not the only one, sometimes I feel a little isolated, not knowing anyone
around me having similar health problems. It's really comforting to know
people here understand. It's just a shame that we are all suffering......
Best wishes
Sandie
