ugh. Anytime the body is "invaded" it's difficult, but to add embarrassment makes it all that more difficult. Try and realize that it isn't embarrassing to the doctor, nurses... and buy a soft pillow. I'm surprised it will take so long to heal. Is there more than one way to have the surgery? Polyps in the intestine are one thing... I'm sorry it might be more complicated.

sometimes they don't tell us all the options because of the prices (and ins. coverage.) Worth a try asking more questions. I'll be thinking about you in this. TC
