Thank you for sharing your experience and insight. It’s primarily an age and quality of life issue for me. I’m 72 years old and love to travel. I’m limited to the type of road, pathways, no beach walk and amount of time I could walk. Recently we were on a couple of family trips , I had to sit out some of the activities. I still want to do more traveling. So , thank you for detailing your story. I’m glad you are living your best life. Many thanks on the list of questions to ask of the surgeon. Best wishes.
