Thanks De. This is just interrupting my world in a meaingful way and I was told by Doc that yes, the recovery is painful. Really painful. So I guess I am apprehensive of the unknown. Don't really know why. I have had 8 other surgeries already. One would think I would have this down pat.
I guess its knowing what can happen if Doc somehow manages to not see one of the many nerves he has to past in order to get to the spine making a pathway for the tube (going in from my Side underneath rib cage) is like walking through a minefield.. That is pretty much how he described it.
SO I focus too much on the remote possibilities but I have to be aware that they exist.
Can't really help it because it is how this analytical brain of mine functions. I MAJOR on minutia too much ! lol!!
I do feel better this morning about it because I had a very rough night. I was JOLTED out of sleep multiple times and could find NO position to lay down and sleep on anything in this entire house, including my favorite recliner..
I guess strong enough pain killers will get me past that but have to use sparingly... We shall see.
T-Minus a day and 4 hours. (tomorrow at noon.)
