Just reading the posts I missed from my immediate post-op days this week and yours was wonderful. I loved your analogy of stepping off the merry go round and that it will still be there spinning when you're ready to get back on. It is hard for us type A's to relinquish control, but sometimes that can be life-affirming, too!
Thanks
