ThisTimeIsIt 71 Posted April 12, 2012 @slimthickens, I have Tazo Organic Spicy Ginger Caffeine Free tea. It has a little bite to it when fully steeped, but don't be deterred by "spicy" in the name. To avoid overdoing it this early, I only let it steep for a minute or so. I am going to have to add this to my shopping list of things to pick up tonight to take with me. Hopefully I can find it in one of the stores here. I'm not usually a big ginger fan, so hoping I like it. Go in tomorrow morning, 7am surgery time, Less than 24 hours and nerves are kicking in. Can anyone recommend any last minute questions to ask the surgeon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
