Good Morning Barb, I am sorry your husband has been dealt this and for you too. Can he get pain medication from his doctor, sounds like he needs something to get him through until his surgery. And can you get something for the anxiety (which is totally understood) from your doctor? I am thinking of you and hoping things get better, you can pm or email me if you want. Carol
