Originally Posted By friendofdd Praying for you, Pete. FWIW, in our USA medical system, every operation has that disclaimer. We sign that we understand it may happen. I suppose it is to cover them in case of litigation.

Originally Posted By KatieKate123 Yea I was going to say the same thing friedofdd. Just getting a epideraul I was told I could be paralyzed or killed.

I know everything will be fine, and you will be healing soon.

Originally Posted By Labuda Best of luck, Pete - and, in case it helps, keep this in mind: anytime you're put under general anesthesia your life is in danger of something going wrong. Just trust in your doctors - your surgery team members are professionals and they do surgeries like yours every day.
