It’s such a hard decision as to where to have it done. I’ve had three opinions on whether to have the surgery or not one opinion was from my surgeon here in Rapid City South Dakota. The second one was from University of Colorado health in Aurora Colorado. They both said I was a ticking time bomb and needed to have this done soon. The third opinion was from the surgeon at Mayo in Rochester who I never did talk to just talk to his PA, he said to just keep watching it. My primary care doctor said get three opinions and go with the two that are the same so I am going forward with the surgery but not in Rochester. I’m waiting for a callback from the surgeon here in Rapid City and then I will decide whether to have it in Rapid City or Aurora Colorado , the benefits of having it done here in Rapid City are pulling me to go that route. Hopefully I will know in a few days and have the surgery done sometime in February. It’s pretty scary though.
