I'm surviving the prep. Yuck is all I got to say to the phospho-soda. But I survived it. My poor abdomen is hurting so much though because of the severe bloating. It's been me, the TV, the heating pad and the bathroom. Jeff has been great in getting me jello, my prep, letting me sleep, and getting me apple juice.
By this time tomorrow morning, I will have seen Dr. Albee and by 11 have my surgery.
See you afterwards!!

About Me
- Endo Angel
- From Upstate NY, United States
- I'm been an endometriosis sufferer for 20+ years. I have been officially diagnosed with endometriosis (endo) since January of 2000 at Stage 3 and had my 2nd surgery for endo in August 2002 at Stage 4.
Most recently, I had a 7 hour excision surgery with Dr. Albee from the CEC in Atlanta, Georgia in July 2008 and was at Stage 4 again. Due to cyclical leg pain lasting a week and going away for 3 weeks before coming back and low back/tailbone pain, I went back to Dr. Albee for my 4th surgery in August 2011 where I lost my remaining right ovary. Dr. Albee is an endometriosis excision specialist. And another surgery with Dr. Albee in August 2011.
