Good luck with the surgery. Spend some time getting things set up for after surgery. If you live alone make arrangements to have friends help you out. It will be weeks before you can drive. You'll be laying around a lot. Books to read, movies, etc will help. Recommend you have pencil and paper to make notes. Between the surgery and pain medication your brain is pretty foggy. I spent half the day sleeping for the first few weeks. Don't forget to post after the surgery. The wait before surgery can drive you crazy. Hang in there.
