So proud of you. And with a PT named Tony, how could you go wrong! Wishing you all the best. Work HARD before your surgery and you will heal so much faster. Take all your meds post surgery as scheduled so you don't chase the pain. And be sure to have peri-colace and prunes. Seriously. I lost my appetite for about two weeks after surgery. Comfort food was the best. Chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes and cottage cheese and lemon popsicles. Yogurt in the middle of the night when I had to take my meds so they weren't on an empty stomach. Or a slice of panettone. Merry Christmas 🙂
