Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Well, I got " that time of the month " taken care of with the revision/TT because I also had a hysterectomy. Lucky for my DH I guess. I just visited my parents though and my Dad decided that they needed to remodel the upstairs bathroom before I visit again because there's no vent in it so the " fumes " have nowhere to go but through the house. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Yes, I understand about clearing an aisle. The problem is that they follow me, so I'd have to run around a few aisles to get rid of all the " evidence " . So, what you're saying is that the frequent " runs " won't last forever? I know that my body is getting used to the new plumbing again, and is probably pretty annoyed at me for doing this to it a second time Actually, told me that her diarrhea didn't last past the first year either. That's actually pretty comforting to know that there's a chance it will get better eventually. That thought will keep me same. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Sandy - I have less gas now than before I had surgery. The more distal you are, the worse it is.
