My neighbor had the surgery for BPD, but I don't know the details.  She knew I was very interested in the details.  Since then she's become more secluded.  I don't know the exact reason, but it's unfortunate.  Hopefully someone else can weigh in on this as well. 


In the meantime, I'll keep looking.

So does light cautery sound right?

rollerball.  Googled roll ball and roller-ball comes up.  My Surgical Word Book has rollerball endometrial ablation but the doc is clearly saying ROLL BALL.  She is saying is very slowly and precise.  This drives me nuts.
