Oh boy! Always something with you, huh? By now Im sure your procedure is over. Gosh I wish I had seen this earlier. I would have told you take pain meds before you go. Too late now. Hope all went well and you are alright. I will be watching for your post about what the heck happened and what they had to do to remove the peg. I know it does hurt like heck getting it removed. The pain lasts for at most 2 minutes then...WOW!!!! You will feel like a new man when that thing is gone.
