Thanks for all the reply posts.I guess it’s been a bit of a shock because at last years (1st) appointment with the paed-urologist,it was felt that surgery pobably wouldn’t happen until just b4 puberty and at this years follow-up appointment,we’re having surgery!

Yes Aimee, she did present the risks (cutting off blood supply and losing the glans) which is probably why I am so worried! And no, I agree with you totally and won’t let video etc be taken or intrusion from students. I don’t feel as though all my questions have yet been answered, I think I was in too much shock to ask them all. Linda (Aust. support pres.) mentioned keeping the wound clean with saline for dirty nappies...hadn’t even thought of that one!!

Tamar, hope it all goes well for you and your daughter. Not pleasant for you, but it’s always comforting to know others are going through the same thing. And to B.T.:thanks for your post and it would be great to hear from more. Cheers, Liz
