Gosh, all the best for tomorrow. We'll be thinking of you. It's so difficult waiting but you'll be glad you've done it once you heal.

I can't help with paleo diet I'm sorry as these days I'm totally vegetarian.

Just my experience, and everyone is different of course, but if I get a little sore in corner of mouth or on skin of my face I suspect I'm lacking something rather than it being caused by something I've eaten. I know years ago from time to time I'd get little dry cracks in the corner of my mouth/lips and I was told it was a lack of B6.

Then again I had a friend who was taking Lithium and she developed a lot of skin problems.

I hope the doc gets back to you to help you clarify what you can eat.

Just curious as you mentioned nsaids and aspirin. Are for the post op period? Might need something a little stronger for a day or two I should think.

Will be thinking of you. I pretty much have a doctor and dentist phobia so I'd be freaking out around now.
