ByarrrrrrrrrMale hookers have bigger hooks!
You mean because they all cosplay as pirates?
Wouldn’t alcohol mess up something? Oh right, it’s Friday, still, probably don’t drink booze the following days leading up to the surgery, or the day of the surgery, or the days after, what I’m saying is, aftwr the party, it would be a good idea to wait at least a week before drink9ng again.I was advised to not eat or drink for 12 hours before the surgery, "otherwise, go nuts." Direct quote from my neurosurgeon.

It's always been the "INFUSED WITH COPPER!" compression braces and sleeves that always get me...Yeah, no, my neurologist told me to go ahead and wear my batting gloves/MMA gloves when my nerves go berserk. The pressure gives them something to do and calms them down. No copper needed! (People who sell this snake oil shit should be dragged out into the street and shot.)
No, skin contact with metallic copper is NOT going to magically alleviate your pain. Depending on what your actual underlying condition is, the compression of the brace/sleeve MIGHT help, but you should not substitute it for a doctors evaluation and prescribed regimen (like the gymnastics chicka in the following video. "they said it would't get better and that I should quit, but I refused!" and all that). (But BOY-- if you listen to the commercials, its ALL THE COPPER BABY-- jeeze, what is wrong with people?)
