Thank you for your response. That is exactly what I fear could happen to me. I have had multiple problems related to abdominal adhesions in the past and even required a lysis of adhesions in New Zealand while sailing a circumnavigation. I must postpone the scheduled arthroscopic lysis of knee at this time due to the recurrence of my husband’s NSCLC ( lung cancer). He will have concurrent radiation/chemo. We can’t both be ‘debilitated’ at the same time. We are receiving all care at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.
