Re: Surgery w conway in 3 weeks, can anyone answer some preo

Re: Surgery w conway in 3 weeks, can anyone answer some preo

Joe, I remember being anxious before I had surgery too because you go in hoping you will be one of the lucky ones who gets better but you can't help but have those little red flags in the back of your head at the same time. I agree with Stephanie that it's best to have some pain medication availabl...
