No one can really understand what this thing is unless they experience it themselves. People can say they understand, but no one really has any idea except those who have to read this. I wish you all luck.

Had the LIS done on February 12th, 2008. The first few days were tough, Once I finally came to the reality of my first BM after surgery, I became extremly scared. Was not as bad as I thought, but still hurt. A week and 1/2 after surgery, the nasty pain is gone, but I still feel a little of the cut they made during a BM. I am extremly happy so far…considering the circimstances and especially after what I have been through for the past 6 months trying to cure this thing without surgery. I could not take it anymore and decided to go for it. I am glad I did…so far. Going back to work on Monday! My Surgeon will be receiving one of the biggest bouquet of flowers that she has ever seen!
