My husband will be there with me as much as possible (assuming they do keep me overnight). And yes to pain pills! I had to use them last year, when I had shingles...it can really make a difference, and even help with your mental state. Over the past few months, I've experienced enough medical treatment to understand that you do have to speak up when it feels like something's wrong.

I'm hoping to be able to report back on how things went pretty soon. Tonight, I'm keeping busy with some Rachel TV and a sewing project -- a cool new tank top pattern.
