When Nancy Gretzinger decided to have elective surgery to treat her mild incontinence, she made the worse decision of her life. She thought the operation to insert a mesh sling to hold up her urethra and prevent her bladder from leaking would be simple after having had two spinal cord surgeries. After eight surgeries, countless procedures and medications, she no longer has a urethra. She also had terrible reactions to Cipro, which was used before, during and after all her surgeries for preventative measures and to treat her series of UTIs.
She wrote this book to share her experiences with other women who are suffering from complications after having had mesh surgery or from taking Cipro. Nancy's goal is to provide further insights, tips on comfortable living, and practical advice on coping with a chronic illness while staying hopeful.
