Hello @ilovewhenitrains
I had the same procedure on the 28th of April and I am really surprised at how I am feeling. When I asked the nurses in recovery where I was and they told me it was all done I cried tears of relief. I have felt so relieved that it is out off and I can move onto radio now and keep pressing on towards the finish line. If I am honest, I have handled the whole surgery part better than I thought I would as well. I almost feel more confident than the shell of a person I thought I was a few weeks ago leading up to surgery. You are so right to say you are feeling hopeful, getting through this part of the journey does seem to make you feel more hopeful.
Take care and rest up well xx
