So it's been 10 years since my last surgery and some things have changed.1. The procedure is totally different
2. They have you shower with this special gel the night before and day of to get the germs off your body
3. They "block" the nerve before surgery so the pain isn't so intense after you rise from your drunken stuper.
4. It's day surgery now. No overnight. Yay!
5. No big ugly scars, just little holes.
#3 is the most important change IMHO. After I awoke from my first surgery the pain was super intense. It was nothing I have felt before. The nurse says that the ACL and Shoulder surgeries are the most painful day surgeries you can rock so this new nerve block thing should rock!
Here's hoping. See you on the other side!
I'm under the knife at 8:15am -- HERE WE GO!

I went thru the same procedures your going thru for my biopsy! And their right, the procedures are different, and better! The showering thing I thought was a bit wierd, but whatever!
So now you'll be able to throw a 100 mile an hour fast ball when you wake up! Million dollar arm! Here it comes!!
