thanks you guys for ur support and suggestions. i don't think i can change my appt with anethesia tho, since they're kinda rushing the date for surgery so i can be done with recovery by the time school starts (i'll be in the hospital for a week then recovery time is 4-6 weeks) at the end of august. so i'm cutting it close!

i do know my surgeon is going to talk to the pain management team and see what they say as well- good thing about being at stanford, having all top departments in every field.

what's a continuous block?
