I hope you have the very best possible outcome. The not knowing is the hardest part. If you need a little something to help you sleep in the days leading up, don't be afraid to ask.

I use sensi chews. They come in a bar with 4 perforations. I cut each fourth in two. Be cautious at first, it can make the room spin if you are like me I use the indica and the cod. I used to like Veda chews, but they seem to be sort of hard to find.
