I'm glad I could be helpful. I know how anxiety-provoking it is heading into surgery. I felt that for at least a couple of months beforehand, and of course it got worse the closer I got to the surgery date. I really started second-guessing myself about whether I should have the surgery, but I realized it was just because of fear that I was thinking that way and nothing logical.
At times during my recovery, I was scared I would never get my strength back, but I have really started feeling much more like myself. I just wasn't quite prepared for how much it takes out of you going through a surgery that major. You do get better, though!
I really hope things go smoothly for you. Take care!
