Debbie - how awful!  But I'm glad you're taking care of it. I have not had that kind of surgery but I can relate to waking up one morning with it. I keep dislocating ribs from my spine - I must have some really great dreams! I am thinking good thoughts and hope you have a speedy recovery (and as little pain as possible). Make sure the doctor gives you some pain meds - and if it's bad - use them.

As former body builder, whom longed to be respected for his mind, I can state unequivocally that without pain, there is no gain.
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

Debbie - I had similar surgery a few years ago. Mine was repairing cartilage and shaving off some bone after being hit by a door. (big ass door) After 6 months of therapy and several cortisone injections I agreed to the surgery. The first few days after were pretty bad in the pain department but morphine does wonders... I now have full mobility, no pain, and the scar is not bad even though I had open surgery. I even learned to water ski three months after! Hang in there. It will be over before you know it and just think of all the sympathy you will get while recovering.
