Re: Can a post op woman answer a ? for me please?!

Hi Terri !

Well its icky alright ! I started my period two days before surgery...I was

mortified !! I told the nurse and she told me not to worry about it. She

said let the OR nurse know. They DO NOT allow you to wear tampons during

surgery. You will have to wear a pad. Thats what I did. They even brought

me another one. You have to be completely naked under your gown, so you

can't even wear a pad going into surgery. They are all med

professionals...not a problem for them. Just be sure to let your nurse know

when you get to your room. Mine started to panic when she helped me up for

the first time after surgery, and I had blood on the thingy under me. I

quickly said I had my period and she was very sweet about it. She quickly

got me a pad to wear, and cleaned up my bed.

I know its a gross thing to have to talk about...but you are right..its a

part of life !

Hope this helped !

Its, not that gross... really.

I just wish I could remember what you girls were talking about****

At 53 i haven't seen one of those things for about a yr. and a half now.. LOL

I do know this, when you have surgery ,Sweetie, any kind of surgery,

humility (prob. spelled wrong) is not an issue...

When I was delivering my first child, in 1968 I was in labor for some 27 hours,

after that first 24, I swear the cleaning lady dropped her mob out in the hall

and came in to check how many fingers I had dialated!!

NO lie!! But, I was so tired by then, I tried to go home, had c-section finally!

Like she says, they are all medical people down there in Durham, and they have

seen it all..
