Alison- you are right, i am here with Dr Ahn in LA, right side rib resection +partial scalenectomy. for those wondering, no i am not all better from the left side but i have seen some improvement. Still hoping for more for sure.


Fall is always such a busy time for my family...soccer season starts up, the kids birthdays all go aug, sept, oct, school starting (my little kids both start a new one on sep 5) i am just not coping very well. I feel like my head is splitting open and my brains are flying away to the sky.

result- i am not feeling happy or excited about this surgery, just scared and worried about how to get through with a lot less help than I had hoped from my parents/inlaws. My hubby is also very emotionally drained right now, and instead of finding a way to pump eachother up we seem to be in a bad downward spiral...i can't wait till it's over.

funny how we pretty much will be spread evenly across north america having our surgeries- LA, Denver, and Nova Scotia.

thanks to everyone for your well wishes, they really mean a lot to me.
