Hello Ladies

Body: 

I haven't been too good lately as I tripped over and hurt my left side. It's slowly getting better. I have loose bowel motions and then harder ones. I do exercises I find in Saving the Whole Woman and they helped me last night. I too wear panty liners sometimes as I feel more confident then. It certainly helps as I love to walk. I miss dancing. I used to like to dance years ago and still do on my own sometimes. I'm crazy but I like music. I won't put anymore flyers in as I don't like to interfere with this site. I thought the brochures I get might help people in some parts.I don't use the internet so often now as I've had pains in my hand from the fall. I hope you are all well. Bye for now as I have to rest my side. It aches a bit. I've been taking a few painkillers as I won't get x -rayed. I'll hope for the best. My husband would like me to have an operation for my prolapse but I will never do that. I want my ovaries and uterus and all the other bits intact. I have never had the hysterectomy the doctor wanted me to have.

Hi Cleo - sorry to hear about your recent fall. Are you taking painkillers instead of getting something looked at? Doctors aren't much help when it comes to prolapse, but if you might have broken something, you need to get it checked out! Hope you can get back to dancing soon! Keep walking and dancing and practicing the Whole Woman posture. And yes, keep trying to separate the bad advice from the good when it comes to prolapse. I don't know why your husband would be pushing you to have surgery, if you are set against it. Here is something he should read:

Hi dear Cleo,
I have been looking at some of your older posts and have found that you have been continually searching for the right answers to this, as well as trying to get more information out there for other women.
But, I don't think you realized that once you found whole woman your answers were all here in Christines work. It is important that you take another read of the Saving the Whole Woman and really start learning the posture. This is the only way to really help to start relieving those symptoms of prolapse, and it is never to late to do that.
And, I agree with surviving, a fall especially as we get older isn't something we should ignore. Getting yourself checked out just for that would be a good idea.
Best wishes to you Cleo.

Hi Cleo,

Tell me something. If you can walk, then why can't you go out dancing with your husband too? You should get your hubby to read the link Surviving sent you. Perhaps also get him to read other stuff on the WW site, re how dangerous (and unhelpful) prolapse surgeries are. Might be an eye-opener for him. And if you had a fall then you should very definitely get a scan just to make sure there are no fractures and for your own peace of mind. Hope you feel better.

And to tell you the truth Cleo, if you don't want an operation for your prolapse, I can't understand why your husband would want you to have one. That just doesn't make sense. I could see if it was a woman friend or relative, who had had the surgery and was trying to get you to do it too. But your husband? Where is he getting his opinions about it from? His mother?

This is my latest campaign, ladies. Stop talking about your prolapse to the people who are pressuring you in unhealthy ways. You must be complaining to them, or the discussion wouldn't even be taking place. Prolapse management is your job, and you have more than enough support here. - Surviving
