Well, its been a whirlwind. After much debate, the docs have decided to send me back to AZ to have my original surgeon who did the left side in 2011- do the right side on this coming Monday the 12th. As soon as the decision was made, the ball started rolling, and FAST!
I'm leaving for AZ on Saturday and surgery is scheduled for Monday AM. I actually looked back at my old comments in the "post op" thread so that I could remind myself of what I'm about to experience. I'm so NOT excited to be going through this again. Now I'm a few years older, a momma to a toddler and the surgery will be on my dominant side. Ugh.

Who has the latest and greatest advice for me??

When I went under the knife for a second time, the recovery was much easier than the first. I was driving after just one week.

Thanks for the well wishes- I'll be leaving for the hospital here in a few hours. Getting nervous for sure, but SO ready to get this over with. I know tonight will be horrible, tomorrow morning too probably. But tomorrow afternoon I'm hoping to be back at my moms house (we are half staying at a hotel, half at my moms house since we are from out of state.) Wish me good luck! See you all in a few days!

[I'm praying for you. i know things are going to work out for you. Try to take it easy when you are at home. Don't try to do too much. Keep us updated on your recovery. Looking forward to hear how you are doing. May the LORD guide the surgeons hands, and keep a watch over you. GOD bless!!!!!
