Re: Low Energy LevelsFrom: Eve (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Feb 27 10:51:52 2007
I'm so sorry to hear about what is going on with you. I pray you don't have to have the hyst. or colostomy bag. I can't even imagine what you are going through. I do hope Dr. Redwine will have something new for you. After your surgery, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to recoop. Have patience with yourself.
