Thanks Sharon. I do really appreciate the info. I had no idea about the pain pump issue. I have been reading little by little on the web and not getting many answers as of yet. I will be looking into some more OS's and their opinions. I am scared to death of any further complications. These first 2 surgeries have been a total nightmare for me, especially since I can no longer continue my career as a paramedic. That was my biggest let down.

As soon as I have more info I will post.
Thanks again!
Nancy
