****WARNING GRAPHIC MEDICAL STUFF YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ME***
Sooooooo. I decided awhile ago to have surgery to "fix" my bladder. After having 4 kids it needed it=) So I went in yesterday for a simple "Monarch" procedure, it's where they put the bladder in a sling of mesh and lift it back up where it was before kids, sounds fairly straight forward and my doc has done hundreds of them. WELL there was a slip up and during the surgery my urethra got a 1 inch cut in it. Long story short the Monarch has been put off until September to give the urethra time to heal. The biggest thing is that I came home with a cathiter and it is going to be my trusty sidekick for the next 15 days. I guess I will get to spend alot of time at home for the next little while, carefuly not lifting anything over 10lbs or doing anything strenuous...so being pretty much useless=( On the other hand I got some really good drugs=)

Not a great way to start the summer, but I'm glad you are okay.
That truly sucks.
You were supposed to be the test model to show Jenie and I if we wanted it ... NOW what are we supposed to do with our leaky bladders?!?!?
