For the ladies . . .
I am scheduled Monday and of course started my period last night. Of the many surgeries I have had over the years, this has never happened. Should I be happy to get it over with? I know I can't wear tampons during the surgery, but to be sure they give you some of those mesh panties, right? Like after you have a baby? Just my luck!
Sigh.....that is soooooooo typical. Grrr yes, I have had surgery and have been on my period. The nurses told me that it happens A LOT. I hate that you can't wear a tampon, they do give you a pad and mesh panties and they are equipped to handle this...but it sucks, I know. But the good news is that you got it over with and can have 3 weeks of feeling good while you heal. I did not have mine during surgery - I do feel for you. Just one more thing that you have to deal with. Good luck with surgery and let us know how you are doing.
