jaye - sorry to hear you felt neglected. I read your post and know nothing about PD. I get lost on some of the posts when abbreviations are made and I don't know what they are talking about.

I agree with not using the word "should" but had said it before and didn't want to repeat myself.

Hoping things go well with your surgery. BTDT with doctors assuming they have the answers and letting things run on and become worse. I think most of us have!
