I am a wuss. so I almost never know the details of a surgery I'm about to have. my wife is a retired RN though And she listens to it all. I hope that you have a great advocate I was fortunate to be a caregiver and advocate for my friend when she had ffs twice once in Boston and once in Miami. the second time my wife accompanied us and it was a nice trip except for the facelift of course :) all the best to you, Amber!
