Before I had my surgery, I read a Winston Churchill quote " You will never get where you want to go if you stop to throw rocks at every dog that barks".
What that meant to me is that as you proceed you will find barking dogs - anything from bad parking to a doctor that wasn't well schooled on bedside manner. Keep focused. Don't let those distractions get in the way of where You are going - a full return to good health.
Looking forward to your continued posting. You can and will get through this!
