Dianne - Good luck with the surgery this week. I know you must be anxious, but having been through it, I would say that it was not nearly as bad as I imagined. I will say a prayer this week for your safe and successful surgery.

I sure have appreciated everyone's support from this site. It really makes a difference!

My husband will post sometime after surgery, but I'm not real sure when. The results from the MRI aren't in yet. However, we don't think that would delay surgery.

Any last comments or suggestions?

Comments:
-the 24 hours before surgery is the second scariest.
-the hour before is the scariest.
-the day after is uncomfortable, mostly because you're disoriented and haven't felt these things before.
-pain is not half as bad as you think.
-first week post-op is uncomfortable, but you'll notice great improvements daily.
-week two you'll be amazed at how great you feel.
-week three will see you with more energy.

It's all good Dianne. I wish you all the best in your surgery. Take good care and keep a positive attitude and we'll talk to you on the other side.

Dianne,

I wanted to wish you good luck on your surgery. We will have you in our prayers. Kevin M gave you the whole scenario in a nutshell. I had been told that having a positive attitude is the most important thing. Meet you on the other side.
