Thank you all for your posts. It does really help to see and read the posts here and to actually have someone reply as they have been thru the same thing is so very helpful..I will keep everyone posted as the time gets nearer and the surgery happens.. I have a really low tolerance to pain meds so I try to avoid them or put them off til just cant take it any longer and of course by then im in really bad pain. But thank you all for your kind woreply's to my post..
