Hello Christopher

You will be fine. They will keep you well medicated. If it still hurts Let them know and they will up your med dosage.

My biggest problem the first two days was Communication! Communication! Communication!

I Could Not Talk!

Make Sure You Have A Clip Board And 2 Pens. I had trouble the first 2 days, and then all was fine.

MY CLIP BOARD WAS MY VOICE....IT'S A MUST HAVE!

Write on one page a few things so you can just point and not have to write.

Example: Need Pain Meds, Need Urinal, Want to sit in chair, etc.

Good Luck, Petey smile
