Thanks so much regarding the driving information. I'll be sure to get all the groceries and everything else, before the surgery. I'll talk to my GP about the pain meds. Maybe he can get me some before I go. I talked a new friend into transportation. That's embarrassing and is an imposition. I don't want to ask them to take me to the drug store too.
I do have stool softener. I also have Epsom Salts . They always have worked for me. Sometimes even to the point of diarrhea.
This is going to be an unpleasant Halloween. The neighbors tell me that there are no kids around for Trick or Treat. New neighborhood for me. At least, I won't have to get up and down for the door.
