Hi Matt,
Sounds like you’re on the right track. I did watch a video of the surgery. Then I told myself, “I’m going to be under anesthesia while all the unpleasant stuff happens, so what does it matter?” I’m going in for my “wound check” follow up appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and will ask about how important to success he thinks 3 weeks with the catheter in is. I’m on day 8 today, and so far the catheter is annoying but manageable. Good luck!
