Nelie,

This is the third abdominal surgery I've had, and I can't believe how much it hurts! I had laproscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder and a laproscopy to remove on ovarian mass and I recovered very quickly from both of those. I certainly didn't expect this to be worse.

Thank you, by the way, for all of your posts. I enjoy your grace and generosity.
