Good Morning!! I will be leaving soon for the hospital but even surgery can`t keep me away from my DS friendssmiley-laughing.gif For several years now I have been severly anemic.My dr sent me to my ob/gyn who found out I have fibroids,cysts..all that "fun" stuff.Since then its been crazy.My pcp and his mom strongly suggest a hysterectomy.Then my obgyn retired so I had to find another one.Finally found one I like and set up a date for more tests.Then Gilbert (my gallbladder) had to come out.Never knew I had pancreatitis or gall stones until that longggg night in the er lol! Once that was healed I had the tests at my obgyns.One thing he was telling me about is a new proceedure where he burns the walls of your uterus to destroy the lining.There are no incisions and you go home the same day.This also stops most womens visit with Aunt Flo.My dr said he is ninty nine percent sure this will cure my anemia.It  only takes ninty seconds to do it but they also do a d&c so it  should be twenty minutes in the or.then to the short stay unit.If this doesnt work then I will need to have a hysterectomy.I`m hoping I feel well enough tomorrow to go to gramas picnic with my grandsons.They are out of school and excited to come stay.Of course I dont know who is more excited about their visit ..them or me!! *S*   Sometime in the next few weeks I have sleep clinic to see if I have sleep apnea.Ty for all the hugs and concern.I love all of you.

Take care hon, and I\'m sure everything will work out for the picnic! Somehow, fun things have a way of automatically making you feel better, even if you don\'t feel quite up to par beforehand. Let me know how things go!
