Re: Cancelled reconstruction

I may be way out of line here but I am sensing a lot of uncertainty. For a lot of different reasons you have not been able to have this procedure yet. I just feel uneasy. Like the roadblocks had a purpose. The surgery sounds daunting! I noticed that I posted quite a while back a saying of my husband. "Sometimes the situation is smarter than we are"
Your last line was about hating to wear a prosthesis. Could that really be the issue that you need to address? Finding a solution to the prosthesis problem? There are always new and better ones being developed. I hope I do not sound negative or inappropriate. Just expressing my reaction. I hope you find the answer
Keep the faith
