    Recovering with Bladder sling

    Last week I had surgery for a 3rd stage Cystocele and uterine suspension along with vaginal vault surgery. I flared awfully the first day! When I told the nurses that I had IC none of them knew what I was talking about! The entire time I was in the hospital I was given all sorts of foods that were IC no no's such as oranges, lemonade, cranberry juice, coffee, foods with onions etc... I barely ate anything while I was there.

    I'm asking that you remember me in your prayers as I try to rest and recover from the surgery.

    Thank you!

            Hi, Aleet ~ Oh, how terrible. I had 3 surgeries last year and I asked my hubby to bring all my own drinks, etc. that were IC safe so a flare might not happen. I did do pretty good until the 3rd surgery and went into severe retention immediately.

            I know it took me off my feet for quite a while, slept a lot. Take care of yourself. Prayers that you're feeling better day by day. Just don't rush yourself. You want this surgery to "work"!
