Your husband is 100% correct re the media! Happy stories don’t sell papers or advertising time! You are not long on this particular little adventure - forgive me for that word, I got very cross (but hid it) when a pathologist used it, but in time I changed my mind. Some adventures are scary, some have extremely unpleasant moments. It’s an adventure because it’s new, you’ve never done it before, you don’t know if you can or how it will turn out. Years from now, you’ll rattle off stats with the best of us, memories won’t come unbidden and you’ll find your own level of calm. But it’s a scary ride at first so don’t blame yourself for perfectly natural feelings. Best wishes.
