Hi Tina and Everyone

I like your idea of having of having a continual subject of "A Little Bit of Sunshine," maybe it will help a lot of us to forget about our problems for just a few minutes.

My name is Suzy and I am 30 years old, I have two wonderful children, an 8 year old little girl and a 3 year old little boy (who is my miracle baby). I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my children, which at times is very hard because I work full time. I live just outside of Washington, DC in a Maryland suburb so there is a lot of neat things to do around here. As a kid I loved to go to all of the Art Galleries around here, since I have had the kids I haven't had much of a chance to do that. For the last 2.5 months my husband has been away at training in Georgia, so I have been a single parent and once he comes home (which is next week) I intend to go and enjoy myself at the Art Gallery. I enjoy spending time at my daughter's school and in September my son will be in a preschool program there, so there will be no more running to 2 different places before and after work. I am really lucky because I have my parents and my sister and brother who live in this area. In fact my husband and mother work for the same government agency that I do.

I know that this if off of the subject of "A Little Bit of Sunshine" ...

Much like myself my mother was diagnosed with endo, although she was a lot older than I was, so I really have a good friend and support person in her. I am glad that a week ago when I was home with my son that I was surfing the net and found this sight, it is a comfort to know that there are people out there who understand what I am going through. I have really gotten to the point of frustration (like many of you out there) lately: I had a hyst 2 years ago and actually enjoyed about 18 months of only minimal pain, but in the last 6 months or so the pain has returned full force. I went to the Dr. on Wednesday and he said that he felt that the endo has returned on the one ovary that was left and that it is causing it to stick to the top of my vagina and bladder. He wants me to go to Georgetown University Hospital for a second opinion before he considers taking out the ovary. (If anyone has had any experiences with any Drs at Georgetown please let me know). I worry everyday that my daughter will have to endure what my mother and I have had to (although my mother had a hyst 14 years ago and she has had no symptoms since then).

Well enough rambling on about things, thanks everyone for being here to listen.
