Upcoming Surgery

In less then two weeks I'm having a surgical repair. I saw the surgeon on Tuesday for a last minute question and answer session. What they describe as a simple fix-it sounds pretty awful to me. You see many many years ago I had a couple of pregnancies. Although neither went full term the effects of the pregnancies have remained with me all these years. I am having a Pelvic organ prolapse repair Where they use a little mesh hammock and tuck everything back into place. Sounds easy enough yes? The worst part for me is the healing period. No driving for 3 - 4 weeks, no lifting anything over 15 lbs for 3 months, I may need to wear a diaper for a week or two and pads for 6 - 8 weeks, no vacuuming for 3 months....well that is not a bad deal. :) I will have to take medications for various bodily functions that cannot be discussed on this blog or anywhere in the civilized world. I keep asking myself, is this really necessary. My doctor says it is. Sigh See this is what happens when you get old and bored, you find things to make your life disgusting ;)

Feb 27th is the date for the surgery, mark your calendars to send me get well e-mails. :) So please everyone keep me in their thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery and to my young nieces out there that are still giving birth.....NEVER STOP KEGELING!!
