What is the proper procedure for us laypeople to edit an answer?

How do I get rid of adware from Search Conduit/White Smoke?

A few days ago, I had this question answered with the assistance of another user. His answer did not entirely solve my problem, however. There were still a couple of things I had to figure out on my own to finally solve my issue. In the interest of leaving a complete answer behind for future users, I added a few things to the guy's answer before accepting it.

The thing is, I'm told that my edits are sitting in a queue, waiting to be accepted. Here are my concerns:

  1. Are my edits being overlooked because I already accepted an (incomplete) answer?
  2. Should I simply have posted my own answer to my question with the info from his answer and mine added together?
  3. What if my changes never get accepted? The accepted answer to my question will forever be an incomplete one
