Also, with the other leg which has thus far shown no symptom, but graded as a 1 because it can be luxated manually, and is said that it would be a good idea to get them both done at the same time if we're doing the other side anyway. What would you do especially when the doctors make it sound like recovery's great and it's pretty much happily ever after? :/
If NO symptoms are present, than I probably would NOT do surgery. But I would have the legs checked often. "If" symptoms appear, than I would go for surgery,

Roxy had Grade 3 and Grade 2 - She had both legs done at the same time. She had surgery done by a Board Cert. Ortho Surgeon - Recovery is ROUGH and MUST be taken seriously.....
