Thanks so much for sharing everything, I think it is very helpful to prospective patients to know all the things that can happen. I am scared of the post-op pain, I have read so many stories of people whose pain wasn't controlled post-op. Oh well, at least it eventually ends up being controlled for most everyone (I don't want to say everyone, since you can never know for sure).

I am surprised at all the little details that you remember. When I am scared like that, I can't remember anything.

I hope that recovery goes well. Take care of yourself.
