Hi Amanda,
Back in those days they did not even know about Endometriosis(at least in my
area). I was not told anything, but I do not believe it was good to lose
that much blood, and I was anemic from it at the time. It was just a
scraping of the Uterus, an out patient thing, and I went straight to EL
Toritos Mexican Restaurant right after the surgery and ate a big
Chimichanga. I felt great. The doctor told me back then that sometimes we
just need to have our uterus' cleaned out. They did not know anything back
then. I believe you will get a lot more help now, but at least that had
helped me.
