Here we go again!

It is terrifying to think that I will be going under the knife again.  Granted, the first operation was in Mexico, with a doctor as old as my great grandfather - Im sure he is not a specialist in groundbreaking procedures.  This time around, I'll be sure to have good crutches, ones with rubber grips that won't slip on the concrete.  I'll have ice!  Oh the magic Freezer!  One thing I did NOT have the first time around!  I'll also have a Physical Therapy regime, and a mom.  Oh yes, a mom!  Being half a world away from mom after a surgery is not a happy place!  So I'll just have to suck it up.  I did this once and I can do it again.  As long as everyone pitches in, and I ask for help, this time around should not be near as bad... should it??
