In spite of another call to the surgeon's office, I have no idea if I have a morning or afternoon surgery. The last time, I was the last one for the day, spent a minimal time in recovery and was barely awake when wheeled out........with no med increase for the next few days.

My daughter who lives where the surgery will be performed, will pick me up next Saturday and I will stay there for a few days. Hopefully, the device will stay put in the new location because this is it.
