Hi,
I just wanted to wish you good luck also. I agree you will need to walk
around as much as you can. It may hurt but try to deal with it. I had
it done 2 times and the first time I was back to work with in a couple
of day with no complications. There is months that I have no pains and
then when its time for aunt flo to come other months the pain is
ungodly. Even if I dont have a period I still get really bad pains. I
think mine is getting worse. The lap proceder(sorry about spelling) is
scary before you go but it will be worth it when you find out. Just
hold you head up and be strong and Ill pray for you. If you need to
talk email at zoul012@hotmail.com. Take care.
