I can't imagine the scene you described being NORMAL but hey, what do us normal people know !! I also don't believe the docs when they tell us that they can take this bone or that muscle or that nerve or that blood vessel because WE DON"T NEED THEM ANYWAY !!
Good luck to you both and I hope all turns out perfectly.
