Thank you nic and Janine for the lovely welcome. Alana is battling an infection at the site of the umbilical incision at the moment, fingers crossed it'll clear up soon. we haven't had the report yet, another couple of weeks to wait for that.
Janine: Hysterectomy is a big step, even when you've had your children. It was the only alternative for me and while I'm so thrilled to be able to function as normal, on a deeper level it did affect me psychologically the fact that I no longer have a uterus or cervix. I think you've done the right thing Janine, I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you. I wish you a pain free life.
I started a thread about Endo and tampons which tells my family history and also a few theories that might help us. I'd love to compare all of our stories, some ladies have already posted their responses and it does seem that we all have a lot in common.
