Welcome!
Sounds like you've been through ALOT! I too have had a hysterectomy at a young age, though not as young as you were....for me it was recently and I am 34. I got to keep my ovaries though. After my hysterectomy I got blood clots in both my lungs and they took a HUGE toll on my body.....that was almost 9 months ago and I feel like I'm still recovering. I took coumadin for 6 months. Now I'm back to sealing with just back pain.
I hope today finds you feeling better, and with lower pain levels. Write me anytime!

Welcome Debbie

It's nice to meet you.

It really sounds like it's been a rough year. I don't know too much about having a blood clot, but it really sounds aweful and I know it can be very dangerous also. I hope & pray yours resolves for you soon.

Your name sounds so familiar and I can't understand quite why, but I'm sure I will figure it out some time down the road. hehe

We have a small support group down in the Off Topic area and your welcome to stop on in and visit with all of us, if your interested.
