Oh wow, don't apologize for not posting, you and your family have had a hell of a time and you're still in the thick of it with your latest injuries. Take the time you need and heal up. I had my one and only surgical procedure with a general about 10 years ago and I was anxious beforehand too, partly as I'm older and overweight. But it was fine, and I'm sure yours will go smoothly too. Hang in there, and hugs!
