I am recovering from procedure seven. I've been home for a week and a half. I just finished the course of antibiotics today. Fatigue is the biggest obstacle right now. Just trying to keep up with life is a challenge--it happens much faster than I can go! Abdominal swelling gets intense in the evening if I've been moving around too much. I have to put on some really stretchy pants! The doctor is pleased with the results of the treatment so far and says he has deactivated about a quarter of its growth. I feel happy /sad. I'm glad its working but it's going to take a lot longer than originally estimated. To do the math, that will be 3-4 years of this. :( I'ts just one day at a time...can't look to far down the road. God promises he will never give us more than we can bear. Well, Happy Spring everyone! It is here! I hope you are refreshed by the beauty and the excitement of new life bursting all around! I sure am! Thanks for your love and prayers........Diane
