Made My Choice

As everybody knows on Tuesday, July 5th I have to have a procedure done because I'm having some female problems. I told everybody that I would let them know which procedure I was going to choose from the two they recommended for me to have (1. to have my female part removed that were showing the problems. 2. To have something like lazer surgery - were they go in with a thin hot wire and shave the inside of me.)

There were good and bad points for both procedures. I choose the shaving - and I just hope and pray that it works. If it doesn't work I can choose to keep letting them do the shaving procedure until it does work or I can just have remove the parts. If it doesn't work I will then go through the procedure of having the parts removed.

I'm a little scared about the whole process. But I have to get it done. I will keep everybody posted about how I'm doing next week.

I plan to take a trip into Philadelphia for the fourth. Surgery on Tuesday. I have all of next week off from work so I'll try to log in as much as I can to see what's going on. (if the pain meds let me!)

Definitely the best choice imho, angel...the less invasive the better. The more drastic option will still be there as a last resort if you need it.


Forgive my poop memory, hon, but did they diagnose a specific disease? Is it Endo?


Just over a year ago I had my pelvic cavity completely stripped (amongst

They used those Doctor words when they explained it to me. And to tell you the truth I was in such shock I don't think I heard half of what they were telling me.

Did it hurt while they did it? They said I wouldn't feel any thing because of the meds. but I've heard that before from them. (They LIED!!!) How much pain after? Please tell me the truth I do want to prepare myself.

Thanks
