A List of My Complaints September 2010

Okay I'm compiling a list of my complaints with having endometriosis:

(1) losing friends that you thought were your friends for life
(2) people not understanding (or their unwillingness to understand) what endometriosis does to me
(3) being able to do something one day but not the next
(4) doctors and nurses who don't listen to you
(5) doctors who are so popular that you don't get in to see them for 3 1/2 months
(5) difficulty in deciding if the pain that I'm experiencing is endo pain or something else

I'm done with my list for now...I reserve the right to add to it at any time

When you lose a loved one....

I haven't had the chance to post lately and I'm sorry for that.

Recently I lost a first cousin of mine on my mother's side. He along with 2 other older first cousins I considered to be like older brothers to me. He died so suddenly and way too young. He had a huge heart, full of smiles and laughter. While I was in high school, he graduated from college and I got to see him graduate and check out the college while I was there. I ended up not going to that college but someplace closer but was thankful to see him graduate. Later on while I was in college, my roommate at the time couldn't go to a concert with me so I asked him if he wanted to go. His response was yes and that he would pick me up and drop me back off again.

When I was little we had Christmas Day dinner at his parents' home and all of my cousins were there. It was so nice to have love and support that one needs from family members.

In honor of my cousin, Kurt. Love you and miss you always...

Back to something familiar...

Well I'm gathering my medical records again for possible surgical review. I'm not happy about this prospect...I hate bowel preps, I hate surgery, I hate feeling horrible afterwards...but I need some questions about my problems/symptoms answered.
