I will add that had my ob-gyn post op surgery appt yesterday and all is going well.          I was not expecting to do as well as I have.         Anyway my pathology report showed all was benign.          The problems I was having were not usual at all for my age and being post menopause.         The dr had no clue if the NF2 could been a factor and which is doubtful to me.              Anyway just glad that it is over with!                    I will go see him again post symposium.

Hey Cheryl!  Not fun is it?  You are a few weeks ahead of me in the  lady surgery recovery room.  Sucks, don't it!  I feel that just lately I've been getting back on my feet--it really took longer than I thought.  My house was a wreck since I hadn't been able to clean for a few months--that's the first thing I did last week and now I'm back up in the studio.  Hope you are doing better and are up for a good time in Chicago.

Hugs,

 Capt Deb

Deb,     You need to avoid all health problems because boy do you do get what ever could go wrong!                      I was super lucky this time around and have done super.      Very little pain and up and at em right away.     Tired at times for the first week but then having to make myself take it easy.    I was expecting much worse.      Would have been if I had had  the abdominal incision type surgery.      No driving for 2 weeks but have that back now.                 All problems were benign and some adenomyosis I had never heard of.                           I never had to go thru all that you certainly did with the collapsed lung and pain too so hope that is better now.                    We have to be ready for Chicago!                       We are going to our daughter in Michigan first so will be a trip.                          Good to hear that it is getting better for you.

  Deb, I can say I haven't tried to vacuum yet but that will be soon here as just used it as a good excuse not to.           I am lucky with laundry as my washing machine is just off the kitchen so not a hard job at all.         Go to hystersisters website for info which is interesting.                                 Cheryl R
