The worst thing for me was the bladder pain when I couldn't pee and couldn't get the nurse to come for what seemed like an eternity. The nursing care at CPMC-Davies is lacking as it is in the states in general. The thought of having being catheterized pre-op is kinda creepy, my vagina is catheterized right now and don't mind it all. Overall, I would have to say my two FFS procedures were more uncomfortable than my GRS that I am having now in two steps. The hardest part of the current situation is boredom but I have internet access, (You need a laptop) and if press the call button, a nurse, or two or three, show up in an instant.
