Cmac,
Welcome tot he forum. There is such good advice here and wonderful caring people. It is always hard to go into surgery not knowing how it can turn out. Sending you home the same day seems so quick. It is also hard to wait when you are in so much pain. My only advice is to be really ready as you are never quite the same after surgery. Pain can also be so debilitating that it often does not let us take the time we need to make our decisions. I wish you the best for your surgery and keep us all posted on your recovery.
Phylly
