Scott Kinghorn Being nervous is totally natural. I was to point of it always on my mind. I had mine repaired on 5-6-21 at Mayo. Robotic assist. I'm sure you're more nervous since it's your child. All I can say is these Dr's and their teams are very very good. This site is great at answering questions so please don't hesitate to ask.
