Robin,
Thanks for the info. They haven't told me any thing on what I shoud be
doing before or after. The pain management center is only about a mile from
my house so that isn't so bad.
I guess that means I can't go to work that day huh? It wouldn't be too cool
to walk drunk into Substance Abuse Counseling/Drug Court to work would it?
My "mommy" is supposed to take me. I always feel good when I am with my mom
even though I only see her about once a month.

Dear Kelly
You will need someone to take you, because you wont be able to drive
afterwards, and someone will need to stay with you for awhile. I think
that is because you might not be able to walk with out assistance. Oh &
if they don't tell you, you shouldn't eat before the procedure. The
meds they give you might make you sick. I didn't find out until I was
there. I had to drive to Las Cruces from Silver City, aprox 2 hours.
Before we left to go home, we stopped to eat lunch, about 30 mins after
the procedure & my legs thought I was drunk! We had a big laugh about
that. I did get a few stares, Bet they thought, gosh, that lady is
drunk & it is barely noon! LOL
