Surgery scheduled

My TMR/Myodesis surgery is scheduled for Feb 10th. I am in some ways looking forward to it - THE END OF THE DAMN PAIN... but I am also not looking forward to 6 weeks of no prosthesis and having to heal all over again. I have nerve pain and it kind of feels like there are muscles pulled in my limb at the end medially. I am not sure why but I am glad that those isses will be solved. MY surgeon's specialty is primary TMR/Myodesis and correction of problems with residual limbs.

I am VERY happy to learn that he uses this device called an OnQ continuous infusion nerve catheter. He reports that often post-surgically, people don't need any oral or intervenous pain medications using that. That sounds heavenly compared to the last amputation that was the worst pain I had ever experienced. Yay.
