Well the week before the surgery was the worst, it was all I thought about, thinking everything was going to go wrong, I was so scared I almost backed out,
thinking about the horror stories I heard and then I would try to think of the good ones to ease my mind,  well I woke up the day of my surgery and had a

			<description><![CDATA[ Although it may seem far away I have benefitted so much from reading in our cosy hyster home and getting aquainted with &quot;overseas hospital procedures&quot; that I am taking the chance of letting you read a little from the world wide web too. It seems many things are done differently, which shows how many thruths there are. Some sisters have written that it is amazing how different the viewpoints of different doctors can be. This is even more so when you cross borders or... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I don't know that my story is all that spectacular or interesting... and maybe that's a good thing. It's not terribly dramatic, but it just reflects many years of suffering which came to about a 90% conclusion with my surgery in September 2004.<br><br>My periods started when I was 11, and they were always painful (or at least I thought so in my teenaged mentality). When I had my dd in 1988, the doctor rather offhandedly remarked that I had some fibroids. I had no idea what a fibroid was, but... ]]></description>
