Judy, this is such a huge decision. I have observed a few of these big revision surgeries and they are brutal. During one of these surgeries, I said something to the surgeon about it, he looked up at me and said, "It hurts your soul."
Surgery may be your best option. I know that you have been around the block (hundreds of times) and have realistic expectations. You know the recovery will be long and incomplete. I don't know what happens if you don't do the surgery. How do you compare the risks? If you want to sit down and look at it together, I'll be happy to discuss it with you (n/c and with all the obvious, "I'm not a doctor" qualifiers.) Take care... call anytime. Mark
