OH MY GOSH Nickle! i am so so sorry that you had to go through all that!
Wow now im really scared! i know that not all operations end well with the desired outcome and not complications/problems but to actually hear one of those stories is a real eye opener! im so glad and happy that all worked out in the end tho!

I still want to get it done, but know this is something i really need to think about now!
