What did the hospital do? I know some of the recovery nurses are
terrible, but supposedly they worked on them...I mean, they talked to
them!
I had trouble with no one else there....
They (CEC) are great, it's a shame that you've been left with that
experience...Have you told Heather? I told her and wrote a letter to the
hospital....They do know women have issues, and they've tried to change
things...they always (as I understand it) want to know what THEIR
patients are going through...I was so mad....it's not right at all....
I didn't want other women to have problems....I think I wrote two
letters AND spoke to people there
Do you think you might have adeno? that leaves women with pain...but I
know you're young...
Oh, one more thing, do you know where your endo was, where it was
removed from?
