Bluebird, does your doctor seem to think that your pain will go away or that she can fix it? Sounds like what my DD is going through. She had a cyst before her last baby was born and has been in pain ever since. They cannot find out why she is in so much pain. She seems to hurt in her lower back. The doctor is thinking about doing some sort of block where she will be numb, which could cause more damage. I told her to go to another specialist since he/she may be able to do nerve blocks that won't numb her and will allow her to function.

DeBora, I had a nerve block done after the fifth surgery for a pinched nerve. I don't know if I could recommend it... The doctors think with time, the pain will go away. I had little healing between the last two surgeries and there was lots of damage to fix. When they shipped me from one hospital to another, they told my husband as long as I didn't pass out, they thought I would live. When I was awake I was fighting ..... I didn't know this for a long time. I knew something was terribbly wrong but that was all. It has been a long road to recovery. If your dd is still having pain it could be from scar tissure OR she could still be having cysts. I would get another opinion, soon. My ovary twisted 720 degrees before it died ( have pictures,very gross) and the cysts went all the way into the fallopian tube and exploded it. It happens rarely but it happens.

I had to ask dh last night if I still had one fallopian tube! LOL Remembered while cooking.... the kids were so impressed with that conversation! LOL And nope I don't. When I signed preop papers, I put it down that they would remove the last ovary AND tube or I would refuse the surgery. Why didn't I think about that three surgeries before??

Connie, congrats on your DH getting a raising! Whoo Hooo!

And one more that we know of!!! About time they started treating everyone equal. Still wish they would have went union... but God has plans for the company.

Bluebird, this is only my opinion, but if it's a bridal shower go as racy as you want! Has anyone thought about also having a langerie shower? Those are fun too.

I will go shopping next week..... want to find out her bedroom colors and stuff...

Need to go lie down for awhile... sore throat keeps coming back. Oh, I had a scare this morning. Doorbell rang while I was talking to ds counselor. It was a man with a FedEx shirt on asking if I had a package from FedEx yesterday. They had lost one. No uniform pants OR FedEx truck. I couldn't find a number to call the local FedEx office so I called the police. I wasn't scared until the dispater sent a cop over ASAP. The guy made me feel creepy..... Turns out everything was on the up and up BUT this is not a good way to search for lost packages!!
