Hesitating to post but since I've been there done that....
Frank, did your W see the doctor yet? any news? As Sara posted there a many options for a woman with heavy bleeding from various reasons, but speaking for myself it can truly be a monthly event that is life altering during that heavy bleeding. Not something that is easy to deal with or to look forward too every month, or 6 weeks, or 2 weeks, or whenever. After years of working thru appts and fybroids and endometriosis etc... the Big H seems to be the answer that I should have done much sooner. I hope the best for your W.
This goes back to the last thread too. You asked W for grocery money and then when she offered to pay you back you said she didn't need too. How is that consistant?
