After all the suffering you've been through, a great big congrats to you
I'm amazed that though your pain is unreal, you still managed to post the success of your surgery. Please don't push yourself during these first difficult days (or even after). Don't forget, you're facing another surgery soon.
Regardless, glad you've made the right decision- and you're smiling through your pain.
Your pain should subsude daily and soon you will be whole. My thoughts are with you,
Dale
