Thanks again, Janet. Kelly called me this morning with instructions for my pre-op in another week. I just have to get all my questions together and get my answers.
If anyone else is reading who has had surgery with Dr. Lenke, I would appreciate any tips you may have. Having been through several surgeries, I pretty much know what to expect. But as I said, I'm more worried about making all the approriate arrangements for my newbie caregivers since I will be painfully loopy to be of much assistance.
