Have faith everything will work out. My PS would make mistakes like that even would call me late at night to correct himself. His medical assistant is the one that keeps him on schedule with what he is doing. During the pre-op she should go over everything that is going to be done so you can get on the same page. Look forward to getting on the road to recovery and getting past one more stage in this journey. Hope all goes well.
