My thoughts and prayers go out to you MikeyBoy. Ottawa is one of the best cities in North America, with its world renowned Heart Institute, so you are having your operation in a good city with highly skilled surgeons. Also, your operation, while serious, would be pretty straight forward for surgeons working in major hospitals, who probably have done hundreds of successful one's before yours. It is no fun facing this operation and the choices you have to make when you are in your 40'ies, but like previously said, not everyone gets to make those choices, because they die before they are diagnosed. Also your young age and general condition will dramatically increase your odds of success! Try to resolve the decision you must make as soon as possible, based on the best information you have and all the pros and cons you can weigh against each other. The sooner this question is resolved the sooner you can focus your mind and energy on the success of your operation and getting back on your feet again as fit as a fiddle! I have not gone through any major operations myself, but have followed the progress of both of my parents in various GTA hospitals, where they were operated on with success every time and without incident! 1. Get to the hospital early and bring some soothing music to help you relax and stay calm prior to the operation. 2. Make sure you have someone close to you to monitor your situation regularly, including discussions with the medical team and asking questions that may be bothering you. You may need several people to ensure this monitoring around the clock at least until you are awake for most of the day and able to take note of the many goings on affecting your care on your own. One thing that is a problem in hospitals are infections, and you or your caregiver must monitor if your nursing care staff wash their hands every time they deal with you. If they don't, they should be gently reminded to do so, as should all your caregivers and visitors to limit the risk of you picking up an infection that could affect your recovery! 3.With quick change of shifts in hospital you will be seeing a large number of nurses and primary care workers. You need someone to make sure the new nurses, for instance, are up to speed on your particular needs (e.g diet), rehab and medications. I have seen my Mom being denied pain medication prescribed by her specialist and other times being given incorrect medication and dosage. Your own caregiver can also help bring you to the toilet, bring you food and water, chat and make sure you are comfortable. Nurses will not always be around for these things that will keep you happy during your stay. 4. Make sure a journal is filled out by you and all your family and friends who are your caregivers at the hospital. Keep it by your side with lots of pens, to jot down details of medical discussions and observations, medication (type, amount and time), changes in treatments etc. This book will help your caregivers to explain to you afterwards, what was going on when you are sleeping or otherwise out of it; and will also be useful to help avoid medical errors. Finally, the journal may also be useful when one caregiver takes over for the other to ensure consistency. 5. With an operation such as yours, on the heart, I am sure the doctors will get you up and walking quickly to strengthen your heart muscles and to prevent the incidence of blood clots, which are a real risk when patients rest immobile for too long. Getting up on the hour to stretch your legs and go for a brief walk is recommended for anything but the most brief hospital stay. 6. Try to build a rapport with your medical team, orderlies and anyone else you meet at the hospital. Doctors and nurses are run off their feet most of the time and human nature being as it is, they will provide more time and better care to the patients they like! 7. Rest well, avoid TV, limit the time visitors stay. and read some good books you have been putting off for too long. 8. When you are ready to be discharged, make sure that you clearly understand all the important details about your home care and treatment plan, for your immediate recovery time at home. Once you leave the hospital it will be more difficult to clarify this plan. For instance, you may need to see physiotherapists for your exercise plan and may need home help if your condition warrants it. Also, make sure you have prescriptions for any medication you may need before leaving the hospital. The effective coordination of patient care between different medical professionals and between the hospital, clinics and home care services is often severely lacking. The patient or someone advocating on behalf of the patient must make sure all the players are talking, that they all understand the details of your treatment plan including the coordination of their roles, and that they are available when you need them! I think I have said more than enough! Hopefully some elements of this rambling verbiage may be useful to you in your situation. Wishing you all the best, that the operation goes well and that you recover quickly! And, like previously mentioned, the need for this operation may be a positive thing, if it becomes a wake up call and motivation to get more fit for your heart, but also to enjoy life better. Remember: A Stronger Heart = Better Blood circulation to all your extremities = Better Sex!!!! MLS

Hi everyone, Not industry related but I thought I would ask for some experiences from the group. I'm just preparing myself for a pretty major heart related surgery in the new year. Honestly, this has me pretty wigged out. I'm only in my 40's so this is not something I would have anticipated at this point in my life. The mortality rate of this surgery is relatively low (1%) although that is still pretty high if you ask me. People buy lottery tickets with the intention of beating odds almost infinitely greater than that. ;) I will likely be out of commission for a couple of months as well even if all does go well. Does anyone else have any experiences or words of wisdom to share when it comes to major surgeries? (Either here or by pm if you wish to keep it private.) I also have a major decision to make in the event the valve needs to be replaced as well. (They won't know until the operate.) It may not be needed but I still need to come to a decision before the operation. One option would have me back in surgery every decade or so for the rest of my life, but otherwise healthy. The other option would require the use of a daily drug forever, which has major implications for bleeding issues, diet restrictions, very limited alcohol consumption (gulp), and risks of other complications. It would also require at least weekly blood screening. I likely wouldn't need any more surgeries though. Just a complete change of lifestyle. This one has me stumped. Not sure I like what's behind either door Monty! Any advice, experience or insight on this would be appreciated as well. Thanks everyone. Happy holidays. Mikey

Late last night I returned from spending Christmas with my parents. I'm the baby of the family, my brother and youngest sister were there but my oldest sister, she's 45, who lives in Halifax with her two kids could not make it this year. After morning breakfast on Christmas day my mother shared with us that my oldest sister is scheduled for two MRIs in early January. Her Doctors are 99 percent sure she has MS and they want to run tests to confirm this. I love her very much and wish her the very best of possibilities. I'm thinking a lot of her and her two kids, her son is 10 and her daughter is 7. Next year for Christmas my father and I have agreed that we will be flying her and her children to Ottawa so I can pick them up to drive them to my parents so they can spend the Holiday Season with all of us. I'm already looking forward to that.

Belated Birthday Wishes NJ. I hope it was wonderful !

Thank you Cat for bringing up this important conversation. I still remember when I provided massage rates. I would explain to a client that this was a happy ending. One client in particular said "I don't want intercourse" a number of times. So I thought he understood. However, as I was massaging him, he lifted his head up and licked my pussy. I stood back to use body language that this was not ok. As I again went to massage him, he did it again. I stopped and said "it looks like you want full service. Daty is not included." He again said "I don't want intercourse". So, his opinion is that full service means intercourse. My opinion is full service means any of my openings. Mouth, pussy or anus. I stopped saying no Greek and spelling out "no anal services" because so many thought that meant their penis. However their finger or tongue were ok. There is a push from clients for more and more for less and less. I do notice that the prolific reviewers typically rarely are ideal clients. It feels to me anyway that there are those that view sw's as a piece of meat they can use as they wish. Ideal clients are clear on boundaries. Consent must always be enthusiastic and continual. On both sides. So many providers grit their teeth and don't speak up during a session where the client has crossed the boundary. I've seen this myself, so know it happens. As a client, please make sure boundaries are clearly defined BEFORE the session begins. As a provider, please don't allow clients to get services from you that you don't want to provide. You have the right and obligation to say no. Clients must also speak out when they hear other guys say things that are clearly not ok.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is interviewed in the Elle magazine of Nov. 27th and discusses her role as a sex worker in the series The Deuce, co-starring James Franco. The series is produced by the creative team behind The Wire, David Simon and George Pelecarios). One such thing she (Gyllenhaal) felt strongly about was to show her character masturbating or having sex off the clock. 'I thought that would be, in some ways, an opening into her needs, her desire, her agency,' she says. 'I didn't hear anything about it for a long time. David Simon sort of joked with me, like,"'What? Really?"' But he delivered a script with a story line about Candy's own love life, and even includes her masturbating and having an orgasm that's both vulnerable and profound. It shouldn't, but somehow it feels radical to watch a woman whose job is a sex worker focusing on her own pleasure. In the same article, Gyllenhaal also states her clear support for the decriminalization of sex work: 'Who needs a union more than a prostitute?' Maggie asks of sex workers today. 'I'm quoting David Simon actually, and I agree with him. My instinct is to say decriminalize it and make sure everybody's safe, healthy and taken care of.' In her research, she found that many former sex workers go into nursing. 'They're so comfortable with bodies, and bodily fluids,' she says with a wry laugh.
