I vaguely recall losing a lot of blood through my surgery, now that you mention it. I needed 2 liters of blood to be transfused due to their difficulty removing the uterus from the bladder. The two had become fused together somewhere along the way.
I am so sorry that your surgery is occurring on the same day that your oldest son goes to court, facing a possible long sentence.

When it rains, it seems to pour, doesn't it?! You're in my thoughts, LostMom. I hope that things go well for you. (((((hugs)))))
