At times, I feel as if I've traded one set of problems for another, but truth is, my post-op issues are things I have hope will get better. My problems before surgery were only going to get worse. I wouldn't be doing the second surgery if I didn't truly believe in it. Of course, I can't predict how the PAO will work in the long run, but so far, so good.<BR/>Of course you can write if you have other questions.

I am scheduled for a right PAO with Dr. Joel Matta in Santa Monica CA on November 5, so it sounds like we will be recovering together. Thanks for all the advice about what to get pre-op, this week I got my special shampoo, loofah and borrowed many tools from my 94 year old grandmother (!) and a retired friend who had a THR in February. Also good info to ask doc, it seems like they have been a little cavalier about the surgery whereas I have a few more concerns. I am compiling a list of questions for my doc tomorrow based upon some of yours. I guess my biggest question is: is it worth it in the long run? Do you have a private email I could ask you some ?s instead of posting them all over the www?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959790724729749939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861675878084900836.post-37523821639045101122008-10-10T17:50:00.000-06:002008-10-10T17:50:00.000-06:00This is really happening!!!
