Nervous and concerned about pain before surgery

I don't have my surgery until October 4th.

The hard part is waiting. It will be ok! Try to stay busy. Say goodbye to your last cycle with a glass of wine and Motrin. Exercise. Plan your recovery space. Do pelvic floor exercises. Breathe.

So wish I could do that but it's kind of hard I have 3 little ones and 8 day care kids every day.

Any ideas on what else I can do about pain until I have surgery . My Dr doesn't want to give me pain meds.
