It helps.

Please tell us what you say! I would like to have some "light" phrase to say regarding my surgery instead of something dramatic and depressing!

My surgery is scheduled for July 6th, and I was told nothing after midnight the night before. Doesn't really matter though; I am so nervous I don't have much of an appetite!

I try to keep my humor up so I don't get too stressed. I have a running joke with my family that I am going to sell my oversized (actually huge) uterus on ebay. Pretty crass, but pretty amusing. They recommended a dollar per gram and considering that the normal uterus is roughly 90 or so grams, I will begin the bidding at $90. I could use the money to buy stool softeners and large underwear!

That's GREAT NEWS!!!!!. Good Luck!!

While was at the Dr. last night I found out (expected) that I would have to have a full bowel prep. YUCK!!!!

My phrase is my Uterus has fallen and it can not get up. The reason I say this is I do not have to explain it. If I said I have Prolapse of Uterus I had someone ask what it was so Just saying what I do I do not have to say anymore.
