Surgery date Has Been Set!

Hello Everyone, I finally got my surgery date set up it will be Monday Feb 13th, time of surgery is 10:00 a.m., but i have to report to the hospital that morning at 5:00 a.m. to have Dr Harad insert a filter so i dont clot. I had it done once before but i don't remember if they knock you out or not. Can anyone tell me? They are expecting me to be in the hospital no more then 3 days. Hope everyone is doing well! Can anyone tell me when they are having support meetings at PMRI again on Saturdays. Hugs all around...... Kenn
