I never thought I would have news so soon after writing to you. I had another doctors appointment this afternoon with an OB/GYN specialist who wanted to talk with me about my condition. (That makes four doctors appointments with Kaiser in less than two weeks, unheard of before now.) I have two wonderful things to say. These doctors have been doing a particular examination on me that is very very painful. As it turns out, I just needed to be honest with them about how much it hurt me and there is another form of the test they can do that is not painful at all. So no more bad tests! Secondly, this OB is also a surgeon and she feels as though I should have the lapriscopic surgery. The reason being is that she is fairly confident that I may have endometriosis in which she can remove the damaged tissue that is causing all of my pain. On a side note, they are also going to look at my appendix and possibly remove it just to be on the safe side of things. The request for the surgery went in today, but it is going to take about a month or so for them to be able to set it up. I really don't care. I've been in pain for fifteen long months and I highly doubt a couple more will break me. I was so surprised because it sounded to me as though they had already decided to do this surgery before I even got examined today. This means that my doctors are finally talking to each other and coming to agreement that something must be done. It is an answer to all of our prayers. While this may not be the final answer it is a step in a direction that we've not taken yet. I am so encouraged and I just wanted to share with you all the good news. Thank you so much for sticking with me through all of this.
May God Bless you and keep you always.
Love
