Surgery Scheduled
So I scheduled my surgery for Jan 29th...
Any advice on what I should do now? To prepare before, during, and after surgery?

You know, the best part of having this surgery is that I now get to be part of "the club"!
True about the hardest part! Now everything else will just require a commitment versus a descision, I hate making descisions...

Just try not to worry. The hardest decision has already been made. Just enjoy your Holidays.
Make sure you are ready to take it easy for a few weeks. The recovery really isn't all that long - around 1 - 2 months will get you back to light duty shape. When you are home, try and get plenty of rest and quite time - if you have kids, try and arrange for babysitters or time at their grandparents or whatever, because you'll need rest and quite.
You might want to look into a really comfortable pillow. Some people have mentioned them on these boards . . . selma? lovemygirls? . . . anyway, the first few days home will be kinda miserable, but you'll start gaining your strength back pretty quick. Just give yourself time to heal.
Then you get to be a zipperhead!
