Dear Pat
Nothing is as it seems. I'm facing that surgery (D&C) now out of
necessity and it is a $5000 procedure (now let's see what that works out
to $/minute??) as it must be done in a hospital or surgicenter. It is
not one I want to undergo as anytime one goes under anesthesia there is
a real danger as well as the fact that anytime a doctor takes a razor
blade to scrape tissue there is an eensy danger of bleeding to death if
he "sneezes". You get my drift. Not that I wanted to tell everyone about
details of my personal life; however, I did not want anyone to think
that this is an "easy way out" to a rather minor (in the grand scheme of
things) while annoying monthly inconvenience. I am stalling on my
surgery and well aware of the risk in delay; however, I'm trying to find
alternatives to this very costly (even with insurance) and evasive
procedure. Glad yours went so well.
