Today I received a call from the Dr. S.W.'s nurse who asked all the pre-op questions. She went through all of my current medications and told me what I could and couldn't take the week before surgery. She also gave me all the instructions that will also be mailed, including not shaving under my right arm 1 or 2 nights before, cleaning with anti-bacterial soap (not bar soap, that could cause infection) the day of surgery, no deodorant, lotion, etc. It was a lengthy call, but very important. Now I just have to wait another 11 days.
