Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi Amy- Just thought that I would let you know that I TOTALLY understand how you are feeling, your fears. I haven't even had my consult yet but I have been doing a lot of research and obviously reading all of the posts here since I joined. I value everything I have learned and I know that this is what I need/want for myself and my family but let's be honest, ignorance is bliss! I am also a nurse and this is a statement that I (and most of my colleagues) have made. But then again, knowledge is power and that is what we need going into this. Anyways, I too have small children, 10, 2 1/2, and a 3 month old, not to mention a husband, lol! The thought of CHOOSING a surgery and accepting the risks is obviously scary. But I remind myself that I had C-Sections with all 3 of my kids and did quite well, so I am hoping that this will hold true when I get to be a " post-op " . What, for me, is even scarier is not being here because I didn't do anything more to improve my llife/health when I know I had it available to me. I want to LIVE my life and enjoy and be a part of my kids growing up. I want to go on a romantic island vacation with my husband. I could go on and on... Remember, like so many before here have said, we are all here for you and each other, kindred spirits if you will. I wish you the best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
