Hello All.
My surgery is set for Wed. 11/28 at 7am They will take out my right first rib and scar tissue and nerve work(cutting nerves to veins for pain issues). I will be under 2 or 3 hours and in the hospital 2 or 3 days and probably go home on Friday. I will be at Baylor in Dallas. Dr. Urschel is a confidant man. He literally, "wrote the book" on how to do this surgery. They showed it to me. Anyway, I will get back on when I am feeling better. Pray for me and pray that God guide's Dr. Urschel's hand and mind while he is working on me. Thanks a lot! Debra

HI Debra, good luck on you surgury, mine is set for 11/30/01 in houston. and now that i read your message, it got me to thinking, i broke my first rib in the accident, and this may be playing a big role in my injury, hope not but if it has to go then oh well.
my thoughts and prayers go out to you good luck and god bless.

Thoughts and prayers are with you Debra. Thanks for posting the info ! And I hope you get the well deserved pain relief you are seeking. Wish you the best in your recovery and rehab too. Hopefully it will be a short one. Seems there are a lot of surgeries coming up soon in the community. Maybe we need a calendar here somewhere to keep up with them all ) Might make that suggestion when I can get around to it. 'Rountuits' are hard to come by right now......Good luck Debra, hope to see you posting again soon.
