Hello everyone,
Been putting off surgery for as long as I could, like most I suppose, and am heading in on March 9th. I'm sure I have the same fears as everyone else and am reading as much as I possibly can to soak up the wealth of knowledge here.
My list of concerns consist of:
I also have leg length discrepancy and am unsure of why or how it will affect the surgery.
I've always been afraid of drugs, let alone heavy duty pain killers, and their side effects.
I will have help from family and friends, but am basically by myself and am afraid of how I'll be able to do it alone.
I'm fearful of my job being absorbed and job security, after being away for so long.
Those are just the few off the top of my head and I'm wondering if anyone can address them, based on your own experience. I appreciate any information that will calm an active imagination that will most likely increase as the time draws near...
So glad to be here!
