you are right
Lani,
You are right. The doctor has told me that I don't have to have this surgery. I can just go on. In fact, he said that if it was him; that he'd not have the surgery. I am on a anti-inflammatory drug and it does help with the discomfort.
I am waiting on a second opinion. The doctor said he'd call on Friday....still waiting! Oh well, they are people too.
Thank you for your input.
