Other side effects I live with is apart from adrenal issues, my skin is paper thin, akin to a 90 year old. Crazy really.

The operation I will eventually have, my choice with the delay, is due to the steroids I had to take to knock out, and control, my immune system. Without them I wouldn't have survived so I have been reconciled to having my cataracts removed at some point. Could have done without the steroid induced Diabetes and the heart murmur but they are both well controlled so I rarely even think about them these days.
Hope your op goes well, I was assured yesterday that the apprehension we may have before the op is completely unwarranted.
Jo hugs in advance.
