Even though we all travel a slightly different path,we all have one thing in common.Last September,I also was scared witless.Leading up to my surgery my hands were clammy and cold all the time,because I was so terrified,and my sleep was badly disrupted.After next week,I am sure that you will be surprised at how you do cope,and as you said,you will probably be giving advice to other new ladies who are just starting out.At the moment though Sarah,just do what you have to ,to enable you to get through each day.Stay in touch on here,because I believe it really can help support you through this.Sending caring hugs :) Cheers xoxRobyn
