Virginia F - North Carolina

I am the mother of two adult children and have 4 grandchildren. I am 70 years young and had difficulty having my children which meant many exploratory operations,After delivering my children, I had numerous problems with issues dealing with mishaps during surgery. I had hernia surgery and now another one is causing me much pain. I had the choice of hernia surgery or tt surgery which meant everything would be taken care of and I would no longer have this extra lap to contend with and could be proud of my body again.

My surgery is scheduled on February 2nd and I want to thank everyone for giving me the courage and information to make this important step. On the calendar my surgery date is wrong. Please correct this as I need your prayers and good wishes when I close my eyes, Love you all......

OK, I am finally back to inform everyone that I am still alive and kicking...Had my tt and hernia's removed three months ago. It was a hard time because I was such an active person and all of a sudden I am restricted from most of the things I needed to get done. I have been doing well but still must not go crazy working in the yard or picking up heavy things. For the last week I have had a bad pain in my lower right back and if it doesn't get better I am making an appointment with my doctor. I am thinking it may be because I have still been leaning over when I walk at times because when I stand up straight it gets better. I sprained my ankle about a week before the pain started and this could have been why I was walking different. Has anyone else noticed a pain in their lower back that hurts all day regardless of what I am doing and even when I lay down to sleep. My tummy looks great and I think my doctor pulled my bladder up and this has made a big difference.
I have missed all the ladies and I would like to hear how you all are doing.......
