Six months post-op+ : The Sophomores Thread

  • Popular Post

Not a Newbie but not yet a Vet - Sophomores have different challenges and are coping with an awkward middle stage, so please only post if you've passed the six month post-surgery mark!

Welcome back, though I’ve been gone a while and only just found out you had a surgery! Did something happen to prompt the revision?
