Thank you for replying and sharing your experience. I will definitely ask those questions. I did ask about range of motion after I heal and she had told me I will have some limitations. They told me I would be healed 6 weeks after surgery but that seems like not a very realistic statement. I have never healed from a surgery when predicted due to many other health issues. I am not only diabetic but I have fibromyalgia and neuropathy. So it has always taken me longer than normal than what a normal healthy person heals. This also causes me to heal longer from pain. With all the information when they told me what I needed to have done I was so in shock I know there is many questions I did not ask. I do not see them again until the day of surgery and the doctors assistant is not very friendly or helpful when I have had to call about any concerns which only makes my fear worse than normal so it is very discouraging. Thank you again for your comment. I do need to find a way to communicate with them before surgery.
