    Does it pay to take something for less than 2 weeks? My surgery is 2 weeks from today

      Yes Melissa, you should be able to get something to get you through this tough time. Don't forget, the surgery you just had can make you emotional also. Depression is very common post surgery. Isn't Jennifer just the best with her wisdom and compassion? I hope you can find a new friend just like her to help you over this bumpy road.
      Hugs, Sally

          Well I met with Dr Bederman yesterday as well as the surgeon who will be assisting him. It really is a minor surgery as compared to what I have been thru but I still can't shake this feeling I have about the surgery.
