I tore mine. The doctor said not to use it for 6 months and it would heal. Or, he could do surgery, and it would heal in about 6 months. I let nature take it’s course. This woman should have used her one good brain cell for something besides a tattoo and dogs, and researched the matter. She needed to take control of her own life. And quit being stupid.
In my opinion, you made a wise decision. I have known several people who have had the surgery, including my wife and nothing good came out of it for any of them, sometimes it makes it worse, just ask my wife.
Too late... I think she's terminal...
