So I have to wait until Monday to make another appointment.
But you know what? When I was walking into the building, it made me think of when I last walked in there for the 1st injections and what a struggle it was for me and how it didn't seem so bad walking this time. So maybe it is helping! I'm just afraid to jump to conclusions...I know you all know how it is with the ups and downs.

The only thing Alan was told to go off of is Plavix. No one mentioned anything about aspirin. He even asked the pain management specialist if he should go off of aspirin and the 4000 of Omega 3 fish oil he takes and she said "All we care about is that you go off of Aspirin".
so ANYONE!!! Alan's doctor wrote the note clearing him for the procedure and wrote that he can go off of Plavix for 7 days prior. What do we do about the aspirin and the fish oil??
thanks much
