I know this because I got to be friends with dr. Dukes other patients that were operated on the same day.. I used the pm machine for hours each day, but not while I slept at night. I did not use a cryopad ice machine....an ice bag worked just fine. Hope this info helps. I know it's a scary step, but I wish I had done it years earlier.
Thanks Barry, your comments are very helpful.
