Dear Mosaic,
I'm grateful to you for your response, and so sorry that you had so many issues during and after your surgery. It's already hard enough just preparing mentally for something this big, but to have so much happen afterwards must have been difficult for you. I do not have to worry about my significant other not advocating for me when I can't. He's very protective of me, and he will be certain anything and everything is addressed before we leave town. I have heard, read and believe that the nurses and doctors at the Mayo Clinic are the top in the Nation, and I am placing my life in their hands and praying that God lead me here for this reason.
I hope you are doing better, that your life is better after the surgery and you are far down the road to recovery. Thank you for sharing your experience. Best regards.
