All the best for your surgeon appointment tomorrow, @nomadd ... I hope you've been able to rest up over the weekend & get some quality sleep (difficult tho it can be, sometimes.)
Take lots of deep breaths if you find yourself getting agitated ... take it one day at a time, one hour, if necessary xx.
take care
@deb1962 - I can still remember that feeling of total relief, waking up after surgery & knowing it was GONE ...... then moving forward to the next treatment steps.
I hope you are recovering well - make sure you keep up the pain killers for a day or so more (at regular intervals) so the pain doesn't break thru. If you have a cushion, HUG IT on the way home, to prevent any bumps in the road from causing more pain ..... and NO HOUSEWORK when you get home ;)
That's a Good idea with using the book for your questions - you can flick back later on & see what other questions you've asked previously too .... I would often give THEM a copy of the same set of questions, to make sure I hadn't forgotten to mention one, in the flurry of the appointment ..... then add the answers to my copy (as I'd never remember what they said otherwise! OR make sure you record your appts too, so you have an actual copy! ;) )
Take care, rest up & all the best for your ongoing treatment
