I think most of us remember that awful time when just getting through the day is all you can do as your world feels like it is collapsing around you.
Welcome @6ftred.
I haven't had reconstruction as my surgeon wouldn't consider it for at least 12 months after (and I don't know yet if I'll go down that path). However, definitely do ask. In fact, write down any questions you have before your next appointment so that you remember. I can't answer your question about quadrant as mine never used that term.
