My advice is much like @kezmusc . There are a thousand things that can go wrong; the reality is that most of the time its just a bit shitty and inconvenient. There is no way of guessing how you will react and you can send yourself mental trying to prepare for every possibility.
My main advice is prepare for the shitty bits by making sure you have a bag with phone chargers (long cord so you can plug into inconvenient power points), clean knickers and a thermo cup easily at hand in case you unexpectedly find yourself locked in the slammer. Keep a diary and get copies of all your test results and reports and try, if you can, to make contingency plans for pet care if you live on your own and have fur babies that may need to be looked after in an emergency. Family members will cope on their own if things go pear shaped--it's hard to starve to death in a couple of days and housework can wait. Don't let anyone fill your freezer with spag bog and other things you wouldn't usually eat. If some one want to help, ask them to do your washing or clean your bathroom once a week. Then hope. The more relaxed you are and the less stress you put on yourself, the easier it will be. Mxx
