I am considering the surgery with Dr. Thompson. I have Venous and Neurogenic. I think it could help and alleviate a lot of pain. I am worried about staying in St. Louis 7-10 days. I am single and trying to find someone to come and stay with me will be hard. Also, I live alone and am wondering how much I will be able to do and what I will feel like afterward. I have pets too. It would be awesome to get relief but I'm wondering if anyone can give some ideas or info on how much help I will need and what recovery will be like. I'm in good health, 49 years old. Thanks
