Hi Mo,

Gee I don't think you are un-reasonable just a bit worried perhaps.

I had a TAH about 12 years ago and I think 3 week wait is OK. Remember if you did happen to have any problems you can Always get in as a work-in.

I agree that you should see the doc that is doing the surgery as he/she knows what they did in there and they would be the one to know you and how you feel. I don't thin you want to see someone for the first time post surgery.

Be sure and take it easy over the holidays and Don't overdo.... You need lots of rest when you get home because they don't, (can't) keep you in the hospital for a week like in the good old days.

Take good care of Mo because you are the only Mo you have! Barbara
