Hey there -
Although I love my lady bits, I'm beginning to think that they are a bit of a liabilityI recently had to undergo a minor surgery, and when it was unsuccessful, my doctor made a casual comment about how I was probably not ready to give up the option of bearing children yet. I was shocked that she was already considering that drastic of a solution, but I think medical professionals are much less attached to our insides than we are (no pun intended)! What I can tell you of my surgery is this - they put me in a gown that was hooked up to a warm air pump, so I was nice and toasty, and when I was given anesthesia, I was asleep and awake again literally before I could count backwards from 10. The nurses in the recovery room were very sweet, and they fed me peanut butter toast. They are also very tolerant of post-wakeup weirdness, which is actually a bit entertaining.
Don't be afraid to ask questions until YOU feel relatively comfortable with the idea of surgery. Also, let your loved ones know how you're feeling, and what they can do to be helpful! I remember when I got my wisdom teeth out, I felt so cared about that I started to wonder if I could lose a few more teeth. Who can say no to flowers, naps, and coddling?
I'll be sending out positive vibes and empathy in your direction. Good luck and keep us posted.
Angelique
