    It’ll be fine. Surgery is neat. If they put you under, one second you are awake and counting backwards… and then you are suddenly waking up.

    The most important thing is do exactly what they tell you… especially any and all rehab afterward. Take the rehab seriously, because if you shirk it, you are very likely pay for that for the rest of your life.

      I’ve had lots of surgery, but this one is the second most intense. I’m terrified of how I’m going to feel afterwards. They will be putting some hardware in and I’m afraid it’ll hurt more than it does now. My pain is so bad right now that I’ve been crying for hours. Morphine isn’t even taking the edge off.
