Hi Sami,
Gee 5x laps! Feel for you...I shouldn't complain! 2 laps within nine
months...you poor woman.
I believe I had laser in November... I will ask more end of March...you
tend to forget to ask everything when all drugged out in hospital and
when you go for your post op appointment...which I had another procedure
and was in agony during...won't ever forget that pain. So I forgot to
ask more questions whilst there.
I'm definately thinking my endo is back with avengence! And this time
it's taking hostages! ;P
What pain killers are you on? My gyno put me on Digesics...which make me
that drowsy I can't string a sentance together whilst at work. I still
feel the pain while on them. I don't like taking pain killers all the
time because I'm that washed out that it's no way to live...then again,
neither is living with pain. I believe I have a high tolerance to
pain...so only take them when I've had enough.
How do you cope with it all?
