    I am so sorry to hear this. Perhaps as you think it over there will be more clarity. This is most definitely a confusing and difficult situation.

    Just finished PT. All the exercises felt good and helpful. My motion is on track. The last couple of days were rough and I am feeling better now. I plan to rest over the weekend. My staples get removed Monday.
