Lurking is certainly cool and quite OK, but making that commitment to share is a GRAND event to be celebrated for your experience adds to the common wisdom pool. You are beyond the Trial, knowing well the return to the burning and that permanent implant date awaits you. Before you know it, the day will have arrived. Given your age, I imagine you may be advised as I have been to use low dose aspiriin while aging to manage heart risks.
One of my faux pas experiences was in the failure to CEASE the aspirin two weeks before the surgical date. Postponement was my sentence after a stern talking to by the surgeon about schedules, how could I, and such.
May your preparations for the permanent go well, your surgery even better, and your results outshine your Trial. Such is the hope of my prayers.
