Question For The Women...

Woohooo, I finally have my sugery date :D!! I realized last night that it will be my time of the month on the day I am scheduled for surgery; I am wondering has anyone else had surgery during TOM. I really do not want to cancel and in a way rather do all my "suffering" at one time and get it over with but I am concerned that it will be too much on my body.

Although we never know what we will truly feel like ahead of time I have a feeling that I am going to be one of those that are able to get around well and not sick after surgery. I would love to hear from anyone who has thoughts on this or has experienced it.

Thanks!

BTW - my surgery is scheduled for 8/1 :D :D :D

    I was on my TOM and it was problem at all... I was so nervous about it but they said it happens all the time. Just wear a pad.

Surgery usually brings on TOM anyway so you should be fine. Like PP said, just handle it the way you normally would ;-)
