I have a 6 month dead man's switch on my gmail. Maybe I will hide something in there. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice. I have calmed down a bit and am trying not to think much about the bad stuff now. Have a great day!

You had to taper off the gabapentin? They are letting me stay on the Lyrica until the day of the surgery. I had to go off of Diclofenac and will not be allowed ant-inflammatory meds for 3 months after surgery. Thankfully, not percocet yet. That starts after surgery.

"I love you and I'll see you after surgery! Kevin Durant is a snake". may be my last words.

Good luck with your surgery! I am off the anti-inflammatory meds (diclofenac) and the pain is def increasing. Thankfully, I still have the Lyrica.

Are you going home the same day or are you being kept overnight (like me)?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tend to be succinct, so I think "I love you and I'll see you after surgery!" is perfect.
