Farinelli,
Thanks so much.. I am getting a bit nervous.. I hope this posting does not come across as self indulgent. I hope this will help someone else down the road who might be faced with the same issues and options. I chose to have the surgery. I am too young not to be able to run and chase and jump.. Maybe if I were way older I would just deal with it.. But I did not feel that was an option for me.
thanks agsain for the well wishes and the thoughts.


Peace,
Tamara
