Andreas: question about surgery?

Hey Andreas,
I have written you before about this "tennis elbow" problem that I have been having. I finally broke down and went to the doctor last week. My x-ray is showing some bone problem and surgery is my only option. This is the LAST thing I want to do but I'm in so much pain and will cause further damage if I don't get it taken care of. My question is how long should I wait to do a LF after surgery. I will have to be put under and want to get rid of the meds they use asap. Thanks for any advice you may have. Gayle Tweet
