Ah, I couldn't remember if you were one of the the, like, three people I know who had it done in the last year. Unfortunately, your experience sounds pretty much the same as most of the other folks I know who've had it done. I know one or two people for whom it worked brilliantly, but the others have reported the same problems - continued heavy bleeding, etc. Oh well...
Yeah, I think that's about all you can do short of a hysterectomy. At least that procedure has come a long way in the last 10-15 years. By having just a partial (removal of the uterus, but leaving the ovaries), the hormonal disruption is somewhat less and it's better for your body. My friend Deb said it was the best thing she's ever done and wished she'd done it sooner! :)
*giggle* Ah, the cell phone. It's so funny, we're talking about teens and technology in my class this week, and cell phones are one of those "must have" items (with all the accouterments). Geez...I dont' even answer my *home* phone! XDDD
