I'm glad you're going to see the doctor. When I had my hysterectomy, they also did a bladder tuck and that helped matters. But that was quite a few years ago, and now it seems it's sagging a bit more again, darn it. It's not serious yet, but gravity has definitely set it. Ohhh the pains of growing old. I'm a widow tho, so sex isn't an issue for me.

I wish you the very best my friend. God bless you and PLEASE let us know how things turn out, will you? We do care about you. Hugs, Lee

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't seen a doctor yet because of my busy schedule. I still work as a substitute teacher five days a week, but during the Christmas break I will schedule an appointment. You are absolutely right in saying that men in our generation aren't used to talking about such things with their mates. That was probably one of the reasons for my fiance's reluctance to talk about it. I'm thinking of putting the marriage off until I get this situation taken care of. Growing old certainly has a few challenges, doesn't it? Thanks again.
