Eddie, congrats on your milestone! I wish you all the best, of course. I believe your positive attitude will help you through the stress of surgery and recovery.
But as you’ve read on this forum, the surgical event is no cakewalk, and there are no guarantees about your outcome. I’ve seen surgical procedures from all different docs (from US and abroad) that have been “precise” and “perfect,” yet the patient still has enduring pain afterwards. And this is across ALL device types. But, generally, most people do well – but not everyone. So hope for the best, but please be realistic about all the possible outcomes (previously discussed elsewhere).
Forgive the “tough love,” I just want to make sure that all the angles are covered. That being said, sending some TLC your way. And you know the drill – take it real slow during recovery, otherwise Sir A will yell at you….
