Just read your response Karen and made me cry. I too Anita am I my at the beginning. I'm 3 weeks into to my diagnosis. Surgery is on Friday. I too have been up and down, first 2 weeks a complete fog I felt like. So many range of emotions, definitely in shock though as my body and brain didn't feel quite right. Week 3 now and starting to feel clearer. My mind has been consumed last couple days with the surgery. I'm trying to not to be too hard on myself. just cut down from 20 hours a week to 8 hours, that has been a blessing. I have 5 wonderful kids and great family and friends support. Looking forward to later in the day Friday when surgery is behind me. I have a scripture I say when fear creeps in. The Lord did not give me a spirit of fear but of love, power, and sound mind. That helps me a lot. Smiles to you ??????
