Default Surgery Date... Pre op is complete

Hi Fellow TOS ers

Just wanted to let you all know....
Surgery is next Wed Nov 17th bright and early in SF, hospital stay will be 5 days.
Have completed pre op today. Still in good spirits and believe I'm making the right decision for me, 11 months of failed therapy. Making my lists and trying to get everything done, I did purchase a recliner today. So if anyone has any other last minute good ideas please share. I will let you know after surgery how I'm doing as well a post pics if anyone is wanting them...
Hope you are all having a great day.

Seriously for me this surgery wasn't nearly as bad as what I had read. It has been 4 weeks since my surgery and I've been back to work full time for 2 weeks. Driving since day 4. Yes, there is some discomfort at times but overall I feel great. Please don't let peoplel scare you..that happened to me and it actually turned out so much better than I had expected. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks Susanne!!!

That is so GREAT how you are doing!!! That is what I hope for!
what all did you have done? They are removing the first rib entirely and 2 scalene muscle, and fixing my arty if needed. Can I ask who did your surgery? Have a great day!
