I think my last post was almost two months ago asking my shack friends for prayers and support. I've been experiencing health problems of the famale kind and have been in constant pain for a while.

I just want to update all of you to let you know how I am doing. I had a D&C yesterday and was back home last evening still somewhat groggy. This morning I woke up and for the first time in two months I am pain free!! I'm feeling pretty good about that and hope that this procedure will do the trick. Otherwise, I am looking at a hysterectomy on December 18th. I have a follow-up appointment with my GYN next week to discuss what we do next if anything.

I've missed chatting and doing any stamping because I couldn't sit long enough before the pain got too bad. )As a matter of fact, I couldn't do a anything for a long period of time including sleep.) I've also lost time at work and want to save any sick days left for my surgery in December (if necessary).

I've tried to check in from time to time, just lurking mostly. I hope all of you California ladies are okay and your homes were spared from the fires. It's good to be back and I hope to do some stamping this afternoon.

Thanks to those who thought of me and sent me pm's or emails. It really helped lift my spirits.

Amy, I am so sorry to hear about your painful condition. I hope the feeling good stays and no surgery is needed.

Thanks ladies. I won't know the pathology results until sometime next week. Only time will tell if the pain will stay away but so far, so good. Everybody I talk to that has had a hyterectomy says it was the best thing. They all felt so much better afterward and wish they had done it sooner. So I'm trying to be optimistic about it.

Oh gosh Amy, I am so sorry to hear you have been having so many problems. If I don't see anyone, I just assume they are on when I'm not since I don't get to be on here all that much either.
Am very glad to hear your surgery was a success(I know, keeping fingers crossed!) Mostly wishing you many more pain free days.
hugs
