I wish you the best of luck Neo. I know quite a few people who have gone through this type of surgery, and one theme that is always true for all of them is simply this.
It was worth it.
I don't think you know how much pain you've constantly been in until its suddenly gone, you can move, bend, walk and not be so crippled with chronic aches and the handicap this sort of injury brings you.
So don't focus on the RIGHT NOW. In this one case, don't set your eyes on the TODAY, but cast them forward towards TOMORROW and the FUTURE because you'll be so much happier that way.
And write a lot while your recovering. It will make you happy.
