I just wanted to send ya some well wishes and let you know I was thinking about you and your upcoming surgery.
I just had surgery on Monday (my first since the RSD diagnosis) and know know how un nerving it can be. Thankfully my anesthesiologist and surgeon knew at least little about RSD/CRPS and did their best to attempt to make things go as smoothely as possible in terms of placing IV's, etc. The surgery triggered a nasty auto immune flare up (part of my RSD/CRPS), but, on the upside, it didn't trigger too bad of a flare in my abdominal CRPS.
Praying for you !
