anyway, i'm spending the night in the hospital. i'll report back as soon as i'm able. my fingers are crossed...

Good luck! I'm 5 weeks post op rib removal myself. I was very resistant to surgery- rescheduling it 2x bc of cold feet - and now, so glad I did it. Take it easy and remember that it will take time to heal bc it is a major surgery but also try to notice the small little changes that hint towards recovery - thinking about you and sending healing vibes! Keep us updated.
