My surgery was 14 hours. I was 53 then -- now I'm 57.
My team made sure that I never really felt any pain. Fear, yes -- pain, no -- but I got past the fear when my surgeon said, "you're young and you have the strength to deal with this." For some reason, I believed him... and he was right.
YOU are young and YOU have the strength to deal with this. Believe me... I'm rooting for you!
