I had surgery for this condition almost 4 years ago at the age of 78. I had confidence in my surgeon and must say that I came thru it with flying colors. I also had no support to speak of as I lived alone but did have a couple of nurse visits for about 3-3 weeks. I had my surgery done at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and can state that it was a wonderful experience. Rest assured, if you have confidence in your doctor and are at a place like Mayo you will be fine. Hope this helps your wondering.

I am considering Mayo for my repair. I also live alone and I live in Minneapolis. How did you handle after care? Are you in Rochester? If not, did you have to travel there for rehab or could that be done elsewhere? All of this will go into my decision about a surgeon and hospital. I only get one second opinion so I am trying to learn from other's experiences.
