    Default 30 day countdown....period!

    30 day countdown and I started my.period yesterday. Which means I'll prolly have my period for surgery. Any natural way to change my period date, lol. Will I be out of it after surgery? weird, but I'm worried if I'm going to bleed too much. I'm sure they are use to anything but still wonders.

    Actually my body decided to start my period a week early and started the night before surgery. Then of course I think go figure too bad they deal with stomach blood they can deal with other stuff. I was scared I would leak too much so I threw two pads on just to be safe. I LIVED, you will live also

    I stated mine two days before my surgery... it was a week and a half LATE! Ugh. I was so embarrassed... I called my doc office and asked about it and they said it happens all the time to not worry. .

    The best part... is at the hospital they give you these really sexy underwear and GINORMOUS pad to wear. Very sexy. ... Nothing like a fat lady trying to use the restroom after being cut open. ... but again they said they see it all the time. Once I was over thinking about it ... I was over it... until I was awake in my room and had to use the bathroom, I cared about it for about a half a second until I tried to get out of bed and then I was like, oh who the hell cares. ha ha ha ha.

    Funny story- the second night in the hospital they had an intern "making up a shift" and HE was quite young... want to say maybe mid twenties... They measured my pee each time I went, and well... being on my period there was blood in the pee. After I had gone to the bathroom 2 or 3 times the hat was getting pretty full... the nurse sent him in to measure and clean it... OMG! The look on his face was priceless. I thought he was going to pass out right there. LOLOLOL... by that time I was like, yeah, don't care.

    I used my own pads tried not to use tampons because I wasn't sure how I would be feeling after surgery and doing body movements dealing with tampons
