I'm going to be having surgery on August 11 (Ladies only please)

What a sweetheart you are! I am sitting here with cold chills as I read your response and also with tears in my eyes!! This means so much!! God Bless You too dear friend!!

i cant do so much but to pray for you....but God can do so much, just put our faith in Him and He will do the rest..may this serve as your strength...im looking forward for the good update on your health...

Thanks Gaby!! I love you too Sweetie!! I know it isn't as bad as what you have went through but I sure do dread it. I'll keep you posted hon!! Big Hugs!!! Shelia

Hi Lucy!! Yes, my family is wonderful to me and always have been. But I might not have had to have the surgery again if I had taken better care of myself. I'm just going to have to stop lifting so many heavy items and get my son to do more for me. He is a strong young man and will be a terrific help to me. :)

Thank you grandma! Yes, I am bad to try to do too much when it comes to getting things done and I don't want anybody to help me. You are right, I will have to take better care of myself after this is done and hopefully I won't have to have it done anymore. I have already told Amanda and Stuart, which they help me anyway, that I will have to depend on them more for a while after this is done. They are wonderful though as well as my husband so I will be well taken care of. GOD is GOOD all the time, all the time GOD is GOOD!!

Hi Dawn! Thanks hon. I plan to take better care of myself this time so that, hopefully, this will be the last time. I sure do dread it.

Hi!! I'm sure it does sound scary. The problem usually starts after a woman has had children. I didn't have my first procedure done, though, until I had my hysterectomy back in 2001. I realized I needed something done because whenever I would have bronchitis the coughing would cause such a problem that I had to wear a sanitary napkin even if I weren't having my period. So when I had to have my hysterectomy I decided to get that taken care of too. Unfortunately, I am bad to lift things when I shouldn't that are too heavy becauase I don't like to get people to help me when I should. That is why the problem has happened again. But I have started making myself let people help me and I hope and pray I don't have to have this done again. My kids are grown and they are good to help bring in groceries and I'll have to have them doing even more for a while, but they are wonderful to help me out when I am sick anyway. Hopefully you won't ever have to have this done, just take care of yourself and remember not to lift a lot of heavy items. :) Thanks so much for responding!!

I wish I lived near you so I could help. And selfishly so I could get to know you and Amanda. : )

You are so sweet!! I wish you lived closer too so I could get to know you even more!!

Hi Amber! I'll probably have to be off work for a few days, depending on what my doctor says. Since I'm diabetic I hope he will keep in the hospital at least overnight. The last time I had it I couldn't drive for about six weeks. My husband is going to take off work for at least a couple of days and then Amanda will be here with me after that because she doesn't start her classes until the 18th of August. They are always wonderful to take care of me when I am sick so I know I'll be in good hands. My mother only lives a mile away from us also so she will help me if I need her to. Thanks so much for your prayers hon!!

Thanks so much hon and BIG HUGS back to you too!!

Thank you so much!! I'll have to admit the last time it was rather painful so I'm really dreading it. Hopefully this time won't be so rouch. Thank you again for your response and I'll keep you updated. :)

It does sound painful, but I will pray hard that you have little pain. I hope they can control the pain with meds so that you aren't too miserable. GOod luck to you!

Thank you so much!! Your prayers mean a lot!!

I appreciate it. This happens usually after women have had children. If you have it once you will usually do okay as long as you don't lift anything heavy. That is the mistake I made. I started going back to lifting and carrying things that were heavier than I needed to. I won't make that mistake again. Thanks you so much for your prayers.

Thank you Kerry!! Your prayers really mean a lot!!

Thank you so much sweetie, that means a lot to me. I'll keep everyone posted. :)

Thanks so much!!

God Bless You too!! I really appreciate your prayers so much!!

Hi Nelly!! You are so right about power in prayer!! I have had many answered and I know I have a lot of wonderful praying people here on MyLot. It means so much to have such good friends. Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much Jill!! I appreciate it hon!!

Thanks so much Terri, I certainly appreciate your prayers hon and I will look at that website that you mentioned. I firmly believe in prayer and that God always answers them in His time and in His way. Thanks again hon!!

Hi There!! I expect my doctor will probably want me to stay at least overnight, especially since I am a diabetic. He might keep me longer, I'll just have to wait and see. I'm so sorry that they didn't let you keep your job after your surgery, that just plain old wasn't right!! I hope, though, that you are enjoying your retirement. :)

yes, please do that. this is a fairly easy procedure. maybe a gyne will do it more securely ??????
