Stacy,
Hang in there! I was kind of taken aback by the comment as well. Usually, everyone is very supportive and kind here including Bwink. I'm not sure why he shared it or what he meant by it but, I would just ignore the comment because it really isn't relative to your experience. The surgeon is apparently on board with ADR now and that's what matters. All of us continue to grow and change including surgeons. Just stay positive. It's an important part of your recovery process so you don't cause unnecessary stress and muscle spasms. Be as kind as you can to your body this first month and ....
Be well,
Cynlite
