    Hi Weesue,

    I to have been recently diagnosed with this. If to think 9f a sock, imagine it slowly turning inside out. That's what's going on inside us right now. Mine is visible when I sit or lay. I feel heavy, and feel like I'm constantly tense because I'm always trying to hold it all in. It's mortifying.

    I've been offered surgery, but am getting a second opinion next week. I fear it will be the same. I also am sure that my bladder is falling. I've been diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis too. Together the two are running g my life.

      Hi Lady, welcome to our forum, dont be frightened about the surgery as our of life improves and all the uncomfort that you are experiencing at the moment will be behind you. Can I suggest that you start a new discussion on this forum as more of our lovely ladies will see it and you will be provided with lots of support and information. I think one of the biggest worries is the fear of the unknown but you are now in the right place here with us, all of whom have experienced or are experiencing prolapse problems kind regards Kath

      Hi Weesue, thanks honey, my son and we all had a great night,Lots of people and we had a pig on a spit which turned out so yummy.... Not so long ago I would have been up most of the night but was in bed at 1am, meanwhile full blown party rocking around our house but nope me fast asleep, goes to show the op and repairs are still taking its toll on me. Still on recovery mode today so very tired and bottom bits are aching probably from carrying some heavy trays of meat. Its moments like those that I can see how easy we could inadvertantly muck up our surgeries. All in all a great night but Im pleased thats the last of my four kids 21st. We are raising our little granddaughter whom is now 6, had her since she was 14 months so Ive got a big gap until the next 21st we will have to arrange. whew. xxxx

      Hi Weesue, It may pay to take a note book with you and have written down all you would like to discuss with the pysio so you dont forget anything. Maybe reread some of the older posts you have put on here which will help you remember any points you want to raise. I think some of the other ladies have also written down what the doctors and physios tell them so they can keep it fresh in their minds. Its a good thing this appointment as its part of the journey you are going on. End of this journey Weesue is a fixed and more comfortable you smile  I was having horrible issues before my op in Sept and now Im so much more happier which all going well you will be too. Will wait to find out how you get on if you wish to share. Good luck xxxx
