Sorry you are here but many people on this site are familiar with your doctor and the area you are being treated. I live in NJ but have heard you are in a very good place. I am sure more people will type in their advice. I had surgery 7 years ago and was a major improvement. Keep strong. I am glad you have hubby and mom. It is important to have an advocate with you. Tell them to speak up for you when ever necessary. It is good to have someone on your side at all times no matter why you are in a hospital. Best of luck. Linda
