Four years ago as I sat at the computer in the wee hours if the morning trying to learn any information that I could about pelvic organ prolapse but there was not a lot to go on.  I gathered some definitions from a few medical websites ad stumbled across a few graphic images that left me in tears and terrified about my future.  When I came across Sherrie J. Palm and her book POP The Silent Epidemic I was so very thankful to find her.  I felt compelled to reach out to her in my desperation to feel connected with another woman living with this condition.  For much too long I had felt like I was the only one living with POP and that nobody understood.  I continue to view Sherrie Palm as a Guru.  Her advocacy, knowledge of POP, and vision have paved the way for women such as myself to garner the courage to share our stories.
