Hello Jaclyn! Congratulations on getting your date. I hope the excitement for you continues and that your fears and anxiety don't take over. I'm reading a great book in preparation of surgery that helps before, during and after. And a relaxation CD I'm listening to that I plan to take to the hospital with me. It really is helping with my anesthesia anxieties and has learning tools for a less painful and faster recovery. Someone here recommended it and I'm so grateful they did. Hang in there, and remember, if we tell ourselves we're going to be scared and nervous, we will be. Tell yourself the opposite. And believe it. I know it's easier said than done but it really does seem to be working for me. I wish you all the best with your surgery and recovery.
