Hysterectomy: May 26th, 2005

Back from Post-Op Appt.
Okay we are a go for Thursday 6 am.
During my appt. with my OB I learned that not only do I have the heavy bleeding/abnormal painful periods and enlarged uterus due to fibroids, but a 2nd degree prolapsed uterus on top of it. This explains the feeling that everything is going to drop out at any time and all the discomfort I've been in this last couple of months.
I also asked about a bladder sling, but he indicated that unless there is a problem with my bladder after the removal of my insides they won't be doing one. He also said that doing a bladder sling where there is no indication that one is needed can lead to problems of it's own. I now several women who've had hys. and have no bladder sling and are just fine, so I'm not worried about it at this point.
Good luck to all the rest of you 5/26's, may our recovery be speedy and our continued lives pain free!
