Hi, good luck with your coming surgery. Anxiety is not good .I look at it now like just going through the motions. As it gets closer it's step by step. We seem to get through it all okay on the day. Nice feeling when you wake up and its all over. I am just before you in a few days time. surgery for right mastectomy. On the day I think I will be all right. The surgeons drs nurses are good so they will make you feel more relaxed.as someone else said we just have to show up and they will take over. Still nervous though. I am taking my music this time. Makes me relax and sudoku book. Bought some cotton pyjamas from target with buttonup front. Oh and socks in case my tootsies get cold. ?? Sending hugs .x
