All I can say is I am paralyzed with fear and feel such heartwarming responses to my situation. Thank you all for such wonderful info and thoughts and prayers. I keep pretending I am okay and then my meds wear off and I am in bed on ice. I hope this works for me and then those of you who need to do this can too. I have to hope I will be okay and I won't have the worst things happen that the Dr. has to tell you-like die, lose a leg, etc. I am just one of the few that this did not work. Cathy, I think was scares me the most is the surgery pain again!!! I am so depleted mentally and the tears come out. Thanks again all. I guess Tues. will be here soon. I love you and what a great support network.
Phylly
