With your surgery today. I know that some things are thought to be predictable however hopefully just because you are told you'll need more surgery in the future doesn't mean you'll have to have it.

I've been told I'd need this or that. That was over 20 years ago. Hasn't happened yet.

Hope you have a wonderfully gifted surgeon operating on you and your surgery and recovery will go as well as it all can.

Take care and post when you're able.. not a minute before!

I hope everything goes well and you get the relief you seek from this procedure. If you read this prior to your surgery, I know how nervous and scared you feel but you've done your homework and you're just hours away from the 'other side'.

Sending good vibes your way. When you're able, let us know how it went.
