um I'm not sure that this applies... but with regards to your surgery and pain... make sure if you begin to feel pain afterwards, that you tell them and IF they don't respond (some nurses are like that) you remind them that the LAW states you do not have to put up with that pain!

But after my surgery I was singing/humming I was so tickled to have had it done! Of course, that all diminished within 6 weeks... another story Ithink I told you... anyway the real pain was only right after the surgery... and the meds covered it.
