Depomedrone pre operation

Just a follow up to my recent post when I asked if anyone had any advice on whether I should have my Depomedrone injection scheduled for three days before Gallbladder surgery or wait until after. I've just had pre op.assessment and was advised by Rheumatology nurse to delay injection until after surgery and I'm "feeling better", whatever that means! I suppose everyone's recovery rate is different so it's up to me to decide, I just hope I don't have to wait too long.

What does she define as "feeling better"? Did she understand the risk of flare as a result of the surgery? And a flare would definitely not leave you "feeling better"

I think I'll take the advice on here and discuss it with my anaesthetist before surgery.
