Sleep
Today was a day for sleep. I'm so tired out. Jeff had to wake me for dinner. I had slept nearly 4 hours this afternoon and 1 1/2 hours this morning. Having surgery is tiring...

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.
