This ...Karen, I'm so sad to hear of your loss. This same thing has happened twice to me, and it just feels like the world is caving in when the doctor starts on your 'options.' So sorry that this has been part of your life experience. As everyone says when sad things happen, life will get better again. The last time, I chose not to have surgery, and while is prolonged the emotional pain, my body seemed to heal faster, and I became pregnant with my girls only a few months later. Being honest about feelings helps so much in coping, and you'd got that down pat. Thank you for sharing your struggles, as it helps others feel more connected. Best wishes :)Mrs. Twintrepidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700888138775395668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-45484969774154117412011-11-20T20:56:37.227-06:002011-11-20T20:56:37.227-06:00I wanted to give you a big hug at church today but...I wanted to give you a big hug at church today but<br />felt like it would just make you more upset.

Go easy on you...Karen, I am so sorry to hear this. Go easy on yourself, this is not your fault. Things happen. But it is totally okay to be sad about it and to mourn the loss. I'm so sorry.<br /><br />Also, feel free to take or leave this advice, but if it were me, I'd avoid the D&C. Ask your doctor to prescribe a narcotic for the pain and cramping and then just take it easy while your body takes care of it. Ultimately though, this decision is yours and you will be inspired to do what is best for you and your body.<br /><br />Take care. I'm sending love and well wishes your way.Lesliehttp://thetriage.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12174263.post-33782184113138666912011-11-18T10:19:55.964-06:002011-11-18T10:19:55.964-06:00Oh Karen, I'm so sorry.
