Think of a prolapsed uterus as a glove that somehow got turned inside out. It's a fairly simple procedure to turn it right side out again. I've seen this happen at lambing time on a farm and as long as everything is done antiseptically, the ewes were never the worse for wear. Gravity and lubrication help a lot more than anything else. I still remember the episode of "All Creatures Great and Small" when the vet lowered the front end of a cow with a prolapsed uterus and gravity did most of the work. Afterwards, in the case of the sheep, a couple of well-placed stitches to prevent an immediate recurrence and the ewe was home free! I know you're not a farm animal (!!), but the basic anatomy is similar enough...
Not making light of your situation, mind you! I very much feel for your difficulty and frustration and pain. As if you didn't already have a full plate! Oi!
