I'm sorry that you are still having problems--that really sucks. I don't really have any advice, though I can say that both my mom and my mom-in-law had hysterectomies (and in fact had some kind of "uber-hysterectomy" where they take out pretty much everything) and both of them came through just fine.
My mom-in-law had hers removed because of uterine cancer (she had both uterine and breast cancer, but now she's cancer-free and doing great) but she had already gone through menopause so it didn't really effect her one way or another that way. My mom had hers removed when she was pretty young--mid 30's--for medical reasons. Fortunately, mom and dad had already decided that they had already had all their kids, and I think she was put on some kind of hormonal supplement because instant menopause when you're about 35 isn't good for a woman. But her surgery also went well and she hasn't had any long term complications from it.
But I can say that I would definitely talk to your doctor about your fears and concerns, specifically 1) that you aren't sure that it is worth going through the ablation again given that it didn't help much in the first place and 2) that "try" isn't particularly reassuring when it was such a terrible experience the first time around.
Regarding cell phones.... I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love having the option to, for example, call a friend's house when I'm lost trying to find their new home or to let my parents know that I'm stuck in traffic and so am going to be really late but not to worry, I'm okay just stuck in a traffic jam. It is comforting to know that in case of an emergency, people can get a hold of me no matter where I am. I don't like being available to be called 24/7, however, and sometimes turn the ringer off so that I can periodically check and see if anyone called that I would likely need to respond to quickly, but otherwise not be disturbed.
We have had to replace our phones about every 2 years because they stopped working, but I don't really care about all the fancy gadgets. We always get inexpensive phones--all we need are the basics. My phone this time is a little more advanced because I wanted the option of using a blue tooth mike/receiver with so that I can talk hands free; DB's however is the bare bones because he uses it for work and he often goes places where he can't have a camera. It's annoyingly difficult to find a phone without a camera these days--I have really nice digital camera; I don't need or particularly want one in my phone.
