also forgot to add,the social worker, not only was very nice, but her main deal was to make absolutely sure MENTALLY we were aware that jerry had a high risk of being diabetic and that we were basically trading pain for diabetes. YES we know~! many millions of people live normal lives with diabetes. Chronic pain patients DONT live normal lives. She also explained to us that the first month that a patient is out of surgery you will be on insulin anyhow, until the islet cells realize where they are and start working. kinda recovering from the shock! Just everyone clap their hands and make a wish.. for him to get a speedy recovery and minor diabetes if any!
