Default 8 days away from VP Shunt Surgery- Question for Forum

Hello Dear Group,

I am eight days away from the VP Shunt surgery. I am very anxious and concerned.
Besides that, I wonder if I can still take Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/500mg before a vp shunt surgery. I have been taking it for the horrible headaches.
I was given a list of medications that I can't take, like Advil, Aleve, Oxycodone, but it doesn't mentioned Hydrocodone (Vicodin). I don't want to spoil the pre-op preparation.
Any feedback please?
Thanks a lot. God Bless you all and give you strengh every single day.
