So sorry that it looks like more surgery in the future - and thank goodness for extra support with you (David) - dont blame you for wanting to curl up and hide....
At least this isnt emergent - you can take some time to prepare - and get second opinnions - I know nothing ever guaranteed in medical world but hopefully this next surgery will do the job..... you know you have all of us to lean on...
Hang in there.... snuggle up with your fuzzy kids and let them share some purrs and realaxation with you....
Thinking about you......
