Mindy,
First of all I want to tell you that I am sorry for the loss of your
baby and the terrible time you have had trying to conceive, I pray
things improve for you and your husband! I know if Dr.R, I live in
Oregon and am actually going to Bend for my anniversary next weekend :)
I think that next time I need surgery, which I am sure that day will
come, I will definately call him. I have heard only wonderful things
about him! Did you feel like the pain post-op pain was worse than any
other laps you have had, considering that he did more work to remove
everything? Where in your body was the endo located? Were you staged? If
so, what stage?
I hope that I can find some relief soon, may be going to the doc tonight
to urgent care, not having a good day. I will be ok though. Thank you
for your response to my message, I appreciate it. And again I am so
sorry for your loss.
Take care,
Annie
