On AOL homepage a personal story

Body: 

I thought I'd post this here so you, my friends, could read this. Now - this woman did have surgery and is somewhat advocating for surgery - that is NOT what I want you to notice when you read this. What I want you to notice is that is was highlighted on the AOL homepage when I went there this morning to check my email. This is the type of stuff that will hopefully bring our society to "unmask" this horrible secret. Now, the challenge still remains of shifting the "correction" away from surgery. Just wanted to let you all know this story was out there.

POP since July 2000. Expecting baby #3 January 2010!

Oh my goodness, that poor woman!! I think I started hyperventilating while reading her story! I thought my prolapse condition was bad, but I have never bled like that. I'm sure I would pass out and die.

I wonder if surgery was the only way to go in this situation. It sounds really bad. Or if she could've eventually improved without surgery. Guess we'll never know.

So glad she's doing better now and that she's made her story public to increase awareness of this condition and bring others "out of the closet" with their stories!

...for sharing that. I have seen her story several places on the Web and wonder what the nature of her media campaign is. Here is one place I posted yesterday - scroll down, I'm Moonspinner:

You can see that these young women are shocked and horrified - as well as misinformed about kegels and uninformed about the natural pelvic organ support system. I believe absolutely that Allison did not have to lose her uterus.

Hope everyone is having a fine day - I'm busy as a bee - next stop is the fabric shop.

Hugs to all,

Christine

I wonder who wrote the press release, ie who wanted the story out there?

...I just found another version out there. It certainly is suggestive of conventional treatment. I think prolapse has come out of the closet - yet wrapped in the Emperor's clothes.
