I can't take prescription pain meds so I'm just takin Tylenol.

    Hi all,
    Well, today is day 0, this is it! Surgery is in 7 hours. I have so many emotions. Looking forward to the day that I can say this is the best decision I ever made but I know it's a long process. Prayers welcome. Thanks for all the great posts that have been so helpful.
    Linda
