I am scared of the pain....but I have a high threshold for pain, so hopefully it would be bad.

I had my surgery last Thur.  I too have a high pain threshold, and it really wasn't that bad.   I took pain meds twice in the hospital, and when I got home, I took it before I went to bed only because I was scared I wouldn't be able to sleep.   I haven't needed any since.    You'll do great!

Everyone's diffrent but were i was they gave me a push botton drip for pain and really i did not have any with that thing.

 Don't be shy about asking for something more if you need it.

 I took cross words and my tablet with me to give me something to do, and they had me up and walking within a few hours.

I would do the same watch some movies take your mind off it and maybe take something to help you sleep

My Surgery is tomorrow as well.  I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning.  I am definitely feeling similar to you.  Even will go as far as saying I'm having 2nd thoughts. But  I do believe this is the best option I have of living a longer and healthier life.  I will be spending plenty of time tonight in prayer seeking God's peace.  I wish you the best of luck.

Good luck to you as well.  I will say a prayer for you and me and our new journey.  Good Bless!
