      Good luck Melissa. Don't worry about the latex. I am allergic to latex and there are many substitutes for latex such as nitrile and many plastics. A lot of hospitals are latex free because so many people are allergic to latex. I hope your surgery goes well and you can be pain free.

              well, since you have the allergy, thank goodness they found it before more surgery!!!!
              that's all you'd need....to deal with an allergic reaction while dealing with recovery from another surgery!!

              thoughts and prayers will be with you for this surgery, Melissa, and until you are feeling better.
