By now, you've been there, done that!  The pain will be difficult, but be sure to take advantage of your pain meds! I had all of those things done in one shot, too, and it wasn't fun but it was well worth it.  Look ahead...the pain will be just temprary, the results will thrill you each day.  Happy Healing!!  julie
