Glad to see you're still on track. This stuff is never fun, but at least you met the guy that's going to be diving into things and he's got experience. I once had a doc look at my charts and xrays and say "I've always wanted to do one of those" I said no thanks, and paid my insurance premiums for a different Ins. provider so I could have the surgeon that put the big hunk of metal in, take it back out. I knew he knew what the heck he was doing! Went perfectly too.Met with the surgeon today and it looks like it's a go for the 21st. The doctor looks like a teenager to me but is supposed to be one of the best. Looking forward to getting recovered and moving on.
I'm sure things will go well Ray. Just try not to piss off any of the nurses before the surgery. They can be cruel! And in devious ways. Like keeping a completely strait face and telling you that the ice water enema is a normal part of the post op procedure.
