Surgery as others have said is a quick in and out and it’s fixed. Be sure you have your therapy afterwards planned and ready to go. Not every physical therapist has appointments ready the moment you leave the hospital. Also make sure your employer, health insurance or whatever applies keeps you financially afloat while you aren’t able to work. Have a plan for reentering the workforce.
Also, after breaking with my parents, and telling my kids I love them, I realized how very rare it was for my father to tell me he loves me. So, tell people what they mean to you and that you love them because it might not seem like much at the moment, but it means a lot in the long run.
