I just read this.....a little late, but I am so glad your Mom did well with her cataract surgery. It really has gotten to be just a routine procedure, but I know that even the most routine procedure can have its complications.....glad it went well for your Mom.

I do hope that your brace will work out ok. I only had to wear a brace on my leg for almost a year after having knee reconstruction....when it wasn't an easy surgery like it is today. I know the feeling of clostrophobia when my leg was in a complete leg cast for the month after the surgery. Then to top that off, I had it done in the summer & my a/c went out in my new home & it was over 100 degrees in the house (I had to take time off of work after the surgery). Just that experience makes me feel for you having to deal with a whole body brace. I'm sure it will help you even though it will be very uncomfortable.

Hope everything went well today,
Hugz but no too tight,
Debbie
