Prolapsed Bowl

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi, just asking a question for my Sister, she had an operation on her prolapsed Bowl, 3 weeks ago. She feels great, like nothing is wrong. She has been told not to drive for 6 weeks , but she feels that she can drive now. Has anyone else had this operation and started to drive earlier .

    Not had that op but if that's what she's been advised there's a reason - won't be covered insurance eyes if she does and if had to do an emergency stop could rip open internal wounds - appreciate the frustration but better to do as told - annoying though it may feel xxx

      Hi, yeah getting there slowly 10 weeks today , went back to waterwork out  yesterday, and I was really pleased with myself stayed for the whole 45 mins, I was dreading going just Incase I couldn't get in In or out of the pool making myself look like a fool, but Hey I didn't and I really enjoyed it. One thing I'm concerned about I am still doing the Penguin walk, hope this changes lol.

    Haven't had the op yet, hoping to hold it off, I have a rectocele prolapse, (rectum) Just because she feels capable of doing it, she does not want to end up with another prolapse,it will take time for things to heal. 6 weeks,isn't that long,is it worth the risk.  I hope it all works out well for her.
