We were in Darmstadt, Germany (near Frankfurt) from 96 - 99. I loved a lot of my time there, but the weather was the pits. I kept to myself a lot and ended up depressed. I pray you don't end up as I did. Keep looking toward the time when Joseph comes home... you can do it... 
Hello all. Well it's sunday night and though I'm bored I'm happy. The kids go back to school tomorrow and we are one day closer to Joe coming home. Yeah, I know ya'll wish he was home already so I would shut up about it, but you can't bring me down! Hahahaha.
Ok, since Joe has told me that he fears he may have the use of his testicles back I've been doing some research and what I found makes me a bit angry at the doctering world. Ok when you get a vasectomy the doc likes to tell you that there is a less then 1% chance of regrowth, now yes if you don't clear out your tubing afterwards you can get preggo. But I everytime I search for pregnancies after a vasectomy the results astound me. This one study group took 4 different docs and between them all they performed 538 sucessful vasectomys. Out of those 538, 155 patient's wives got pregnant. 51% of those pregnancies resulted from not clearing the vas deferens of sperm. 49% were from recanilization (regrowth of the vas deferens) three years after sucessfully being sterile. WTF! Uh......I know I suck at math, but that seems like more then the less then 1% that the docs like to spout. Another website stated that 1 in 4000 vasectomys grow back. SCARY!! Good thing for us we changed our minds and want a third. But can you imagine the poor shmuk that doesn't want anymore? Yikes. I just wish docters would give you all the facts and not lie. But these are docters were talking about. Now there not all corrupt....thank god, but it all comes down to how do you know your doc isn't. Even research may never fully clue you in on it till it's too late.
Woohoo, I ranted. Look at that! LOL I'm starting to sound like Joe ahhhh!
Love ya'll!
