Sona - my positive thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you.

Sona,

Haven't posted in ages, but happened to sign in today. I'm sending lots of positive healing thoughts and cyber-hugs your way and hope you bounce back quickly! Your daughter sounds like she is incredibly resilient...this must be a scary experience for all of you, but especially her.

All the best...wish I could do more!

Dear Sona, sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Just take care of yourself, the rest will fall into place.

Sona, as one 'bleeder' to another, hugs and prayers to both you and your daughter. It must be scary, for both of you in different ways, and you're both being so very brave. You're a great example to Bebe, even through your pain and distress.

For what it is worth, and I do realize I'm certainly preaching to the choir here(!), I've got a whole bunch of 'bleeder' friends (NO idea why we aggregate like clumping cells!), with causes ranging from endometriosis to idiopathic; about half have had one or the other surgery you mention, and ALL feel MUCH better after. Some have had no problems at all ever since, but even those who are still outside the norm are VASTLY better, and live more fully for it. Not one regret. So I'm wishing you and your family strength, just the bit more to help you through this hurdle.

Wishing you health and holding you in my thoughts and prayers until we hear from you again, hopefully with better news by then. It is so good to hear that you have your mother close at this time --- times like this, we're never too old to be a cherished daughter.

((Sona)) I hope you feel better soon, mentally and physically.

Thinking of you Sona -- I hope everything goes well with your procedure.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Will be praying for you as well.

Sona, I've been thinking of you over the past couple of days (so sorry I could not post earlier - laptop is fried). Your daughter is a very brave little girl and I'm so glad you have the support of your mom, husband and daughter at this time. I'm wishing and hoping for the smoothest possible surgery and recovery for you.

Surgery in two weeks. . . you will be in my thoughts.

Oh, I"ll be back from my trip before your surgery so I'll be able to check in on you... sending more hugs!

Good luck with the surgery, and take it easy for as long as you need to afterward. You only get one chance to heal properly.

Sona, good luck with your surgery. My prayers will be with you and your family. I'm so sorry you have to go through this!

I'm relieved for you that you have a surgery date Sona and soon your suffering will be a thing of the past. Wishing you all sorts of luck with your procedure and of will be thinking of you and sending hugs.

Sona thanks so much for the update you have been in my prayers. Without going into detail, I had a hysterectomy 18 months ago and it has been a very positive thing. So if this surgery can correct this problem you are having I am very confident you will come out the other side and not know yourself (in a good way).

I realise from your original post that this surgery means no more biological kids (did I get that right?) and obviously this was something I had to consider 18 months ago also. But through my faith I found peace and experienced no sense of loss as many do. I know from your posts that you have a faith so I encourage you to continue to drawer on that and know that you are not alone. Lots of love to you.

Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping that all goes well!

Prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery. Those I know who had this wondered why they waited as long as they did to have surgery. You will feel so much better!

Sona, I wish you a speedy and successful recovery. Hang in there while you're waiting for the surgery. You need to take care of yourself first and foremost.

Sona - I hope and pray these next two weeks fly by uneventfully, and that your surgery goes smoothly How comforting it can be at any age to have our moms looking out for us!

Hang in there, Sona. Good to hear the blood loss is not as bad, and hoping the days pass fast and in relative comfort as you wait for your date.

Sending along extra-good wishes for the coming weeks - here's hoping the next couple of weeks fly by uneventfully, and that the surgery goes perfectly.

Hang in there Sona - and although this whole thing is extremely stressful and painful, I'm very, very hopeful that it'll all work out beautifully and that within just a couple of weeks you'll be feeling much, much better.

Thank you for the update, Sona. I have everything crossed for you - hoping that the surgery is uneventful and successful and that it fixes the bleeding and pain. Hang in there and take care of yourself!

*BIG HUGS* and sending you all the well wishes I can. Thanks for keeping us updated, I hope everything goes smooth smooth smooth. Extra hugs for Bebe (and your husband!) for being so strong, and I'm so glad to hear that you're able to have your mum in support of you as well.

I will pray for your health, Sona and I hope everything goes well. My former coworker actually had the same issue and had this done and she was MUCH better after and her recovery period was minimal. Sending good vibes your way:)
