Hi Limoges,

Yes, as the time draws closer, I am certainly getting anxious about several aspects of the surgery. The post-op pain is definitely one of them. We are fortunate to have access to top notch medical care and be at the hands of folks at MGH, though. If these practioners don't know how to treat us, I'm not sure who can!

When is your surgery scheduled? Are you having rib resection and the scalenectomy?

Take care,
Laura
