Advice on Cystocele/rectocele/uterine Prolapse Repair

Hi all, My situation is this: as a result of a traumatic birth experience (forceps, monster episiotomy, big baby), I now have a grade 3 cystocele, rectocele, and uterine prolapse that is getting worse every month that goes by.

Formaldehyde Treated Flooring

Plumber for Clogged Disposal

Unfortunately, we have a disposal that is able to dispose of just about NOTHING. Just had a baby and Mom is in town helping. My girls got a hold of a new box of Golden Grahams and emptied them all over the playroom. She simply swept them up and put the entire box down the disposal?! Needless to say, it is backed up and I can't live a day without a kitchen sink!! I need a plumber that is great, but won't charge me an arm and a leg, either. Preferably someone who can get to me PRONTO! Thanks so much ahead of time!!
