My thoughts and prayers are with you. To pain free days ahead. If my memory doesn't fail me, Dr. Redan doesn't want you to take any medication after he sees you on the day of surgery, just to let you know.... Get back to us as soon as you can. It is unfortunate that you are Shannon are missing one another by days, it helped having a buddy there with you; although one was tied to the toilet most of day before surgery and there wasn't a lot of socializing to be done.
Love,
