You have come to the right place to get you through this anxious time.One year ago,I was exactly where you are now.I had NEVER been in hospital in my life,and to say I was terrified is an understatement.Every minute of my day I was in fear,and I couldn't get it out of my head.I was sleeping terribly,and pretty sure that my life was coming to an end!!!Then I joined this blog.Other ladies were quick to reply to me,and I started to listen to what they had to say.I slowed down,and tried hard to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME.Instead of being scared of surgery,I began to prepare for it.I bought my front opening nighties,rearranged things at home to bench height(for things that I used daily)books from the library for hospital,and so on. When the day finally came,of course I was scared witless,but everyone was lovely,and before I knew it,it was over,and not as bad as I had imagined.And then,and only then,I started to prepare for the next step.Throughout this journey,things can change unexpectedly,so if you can just prepare in little steps,for the road ahead,I am positive you will find it a tiny bit easier.If you have any questions,just put them up here.All the ladies on here have great ideas,and all so different.We are here 24/7 so there is no need to feel lonely.I used to come on here at 3 and 4 in the morning,as a lot of ladies do.Feel free to message me at any time.Take care xxxRobyn
