Hopefully it all goes well! How would you rate it if it's a successful procedure and you recover completely ?
Hard to say, recovery is going to be a bitch because, get this... 12 days after my diagnosis, 1 day before the CT Scan and 2 days before meeting the surgeon, my wife felt a numbness and tingling in her legs, tried to stand up and fell to the floor.
An infection she had been fighting in her foot moved to her spine and tried to paralyze her(!) She had emergency surgery on her spine that night, a lower leg amputation a few days later, and has now been in the hospital... (checks math) 14 days.
So there's a real possibility we'll both be hospitalized at the same time or, best case, in surgical recovery at the same time. She can't come home until she completes rehab for the nerve damage and amputation.
Well fuck that's a brutally rough patch
Oh man, what can I even say. What a difficult situation to be in, I feel for you both. Hopefully your wife and you recover well and quickly. Damn. 😔🙏
