Elise.... I don't know what to say. Your experience has sucked. When I read the words "re-break", I wanted to switch off my computer. it sounds that though you are dealing with a crappy situation you are resigned to doing what you need to do to get better despite the the long road you have already been on. Keep your head up and keep us informed of your progress. I will look forward to hearing from you after the surgery on the 7th.
