You ate indeed fortunate that your provider/hospital took such great care in telling you what to expect and helping in getting you the tools you would need following surgery. Mine did neither!!! It was all about the money and getting it done as quickly as possible where they can wash their hands of you soon afterwards. It has been a slow learning experience to say the least. If not for this forum and wonderful people as yourself reaching out to me; I would have been completely in the dark!!!
