Larra TOLD me it would be a 20 minute procedure. I think maybe she knows someone else who has has this kind of procedure?
Thank you, DianaCox for taking his call. Communicating w/MrSue is always a challenge, more so on a cell phone.
And thanks to y’all who have been so supportive, including my new BFF hilary1617 !
Gets a bit graphic here! Cover your eyes!
BUT…while the surgery was a kind of hit-and-run, the recovery…says the surgeon…is slow, painful and messy because the area is packed full of nerves…so ultra-sensitive. It will feel like an infection has developed. Essentially, she removed a “slice,” maybe an inch wide and a few inches long of precancerous tissue in the perineum. There was a bit of sewing, to make exposed area smaller, and then setting it all on fire to make sure the margins were no longer hosting bad things not visible to the human eye. AND, the surgeon was surprised to learn…having done this procedure on three other women in the past few weeks…that they all reported a very painful recovery. I will be wearing dresses for a while.
But, staying true to form, I was a smart ass. I was asked to state my name, DOB and the procedure that was being done. I did okay on the first two…but for procedure, I said “prostatectomy.”
