  Thank you

  Thank you Abby,

  You remind us all, also, to talk to our Docs about the embarrassing stuff and to be much more assertive.

  Cryofan is a complete and utter butthead. I expect he does not have a woman of his own and would not know what to do with one if he did.

  re. the folks upset about how long it took to get the diaper thing going - when the problem first happens right after surgery you think it will just go away - and some Docs reassure you of that too if you ask. Mine never got far as I was still in the hospital and my Doc was totally on top of the situation. My surgery was to remove a very large exterior fibroid that had destroyed my right side fallopian tube..so they knew the ureter damage was very likely and made arrangements to prevent and monitor. All good now. My desire was to retain my ability to have children... 13 years later and my husband and I are still childless but at least we had the chance and the choice. Dr. Lazslo Sogor who is now the Director of our regional Planned Parenthood - Cleveland area - is the best if you are a neighbor and need a Doc who actually views women as human beings and our ability to bear children as something more than just being eggsacks. He's semi-retired but his students from Case Western all went into the world with a bit of his decency I think.
