Well, the pain hasn't stopped yet, but it is getting a lot better. I
can actually almost walk around without looking like an elderly lady
today. I did get quite a bit of endo lasered off or whatever they call
it, so that would make sense that that's why I'm hurting? Did you? I
teach dance classes twice a week and am supposed to go back on Monday,
so I sure hope I'm feeling better by then! The gas pain wasn't that bad
for me. I'm so sorry you were up crying last night. I hope you can get
a nap in today!
