HI Sue,
You have a couple of days to try and get into a relaxed state of mind...I know it is easier said than done, but it can help the healing process.
I'm sorry you had to have surgery after all....the upside of this is that it is happening sooner than later and in a few days it will be behind you...
I's good to know that you various doctors are working as team and undertand your challenges with RSD...
I, too, am grateful for people on the board who *understand.*

We'll all be thinking of you before, during and after surgery
Hope4thebest xo
