Sleepless in Missouri !!!
I own a tax service store and now that the rush is finally over I have way too much time on my hands. My pre-op appt is in 2 days. I'm not terrified today (I'm sure that can change at any given moment) and I feel that I have everything in order but I cannot turn my brain off!
I still have 2nd, 3rd, and 4th thoughts regarding doing the right thing. I've never had major surgery before and it's such a huge decision.
I'm having TVH, bladder slings and A&P repair. The drs said that my prolapses will only get worse without all of the above. My hubby is afraid we'll never have sex again. I just want to be dry and comfortable. I want to run and play with my grandbabies (currently 5). Sometimes the pressure is too much.
The bottom line (no pun intended) is that I have to do this for me! What if I make the wrong decision and the surgery doesn't work?
These are the thoughts that are bombarding my brain at night when I'm not occuppied.
I need a turn-off switch for my controlling brain. :confuse:
Thanks for letting me ramble on and on and on.....

hi believe me your not rambling, having a TVH is a huge decission to make and true it is a big surgery but if the end results are a better quality of life then its definately worth it!! I am sure it will work! I am in the same boat as you although im not a grandmother, i am a mother, i am 35 and have 2 active kids, im always tired and worn out and find it hard to keep up with them, im hoping my TVH on the 13th may is going to sort me out once and for all! This is a good place to vent!! I also hear that sex can be even better after the operation LOL. Im counting on that anyway Try your hardest to relax,have a long hot bath,read,pamper yourself!!! Take care and keep us posted Tracey x x x x

I had a TVH without repairs. I had similar feelings/concerns as you. I can tell you from my experience that it was the best decision I have ever made for myself. There is sex after a hyster - in my case it is better than before, and it was great before. Best of luck to you next week.
