I had the advantage of having Kaiser Insurance, and they require you to complete a 6 month class prior to the surgery, I fought this class at first, but after a few weeks, I realized that the education we received was invaluable. They structured the classes to cover all the aspects of the surgery.
this was only a tool, and how each person handled it was up to them, one advantage was that after the classes, about 5 people decided that the surgery was not for them.
Talk to Phoenix, she can educate you on the pain issues, and the treatment of them, she has been through the ringer, and survived.....
Glad you dont have any regrets....
