Jay,

Thanks for sharing. It helps for those of us that have not yet had surgery (like me). The unknown is daunting, and it is great to hear that she came through the surgery so well, especially since I have a similar path ahead.

Congrats on your little one, and good luck to you and your wife going forward!
