Chelsey, Yes I'm back. My surgery went as well as could be expected. He found endo in the cul-de-sac area, by the bowel and a little on the bladder. It is so nice not to have the pain that I was experiencing. It has taken me a little longer to recover than the last time I had it done. I am still taking it easy. I had a few set backs the first week, I ended up being allergic to the stiches they used. That was fun to deal with. Then I had to go back in because of a bladder infection. He said that was not uncommon to have a bladder infection after surgery. I dont know about that but it was painful. I am suppose to start depo-provera in early February. I have done a lot of research and as far as I can tell, the only way I will know if I can tolerate the side effects is to give it a try. How have you been doing? Hope you are good. Are you cheering for the Broncos on Sunday? I hope so!! Denise in Denver
