And that was the thing for me, Stan, I mean, that, you know, when I was going through my surgery, that's what you told me, stay ahead of the pain.

Stay ahead of it, yeah.

So now when I talk to people who are going through the same experience, I just say, you know, stay ahead of the pain, you know, because there is some pain.

And, you know, it's really, you know, like I said, this is really a great conversation because

I know that there are many people that I know.

I'm coming from a community perspective.

There are many people who are struggling with this.

There are various factors that are there.

First of all, you talked about the unknown, the uncertainty.

Then you talk about the insurance, what's the cost going to be.

You start talking about the economic impact.

of doing, you know, having the surgery, you know, how long is it going to take for me to recover?

You know, what about my job?

You know, what about my family?

What about my soul?

I mean, so there's a variety of things that are going on in people's, I believe that are going on in people's mind about this.

And so to be able to talk about this like this, you know, very casually and conversationally, I think it's going to be important for many people who might be considering this.

And, you know, the outpatient, I mean, I kind of sort of knew that.

But it's kind of great to have you say that, you know, that, you know, you go in, you know, and, you know, you come back out and you can, like, what?

You know, medicine is a wonderful thing.
