Valerie Herndon-Vitarella Thank you, Steven. From your journal posts, it sounds like you are well on the way to a full recovery! I think the driving part and going stir crazy will drive me nuts. Since my first surgery was minimally invasive, I was allowed to drive in 1 week. I am told 6 weeks for this one.
Susan Lynn Good luck, Valerie! You've got this! Wishing you a successful surgery and easy recovery.
