Surgery Friday the 13th!
Good luck on your surgery - I am sure it will be a lucky day for you! My surgery is April 1st and I am hoping that I am not the foot of the day!

I was reading a book today that helps you prepare your mind for surgery. It mentioned that Friday the 13th is a great day to schedule surgery because due to superstition, there are fewer people who want to schedule surgeries on that day. Because of that, you could receive better attention and care. Don't know if it will be true or not, but we can hope!
The title is Prepare for Surgery, Heal Yourself. It is kind of new agey and some of it is too much for me, but I wanted to look into using positive thinking and mindfulness to calm my fears and anxieties over surgery. Just getting started with the book, but I do think some of the concepts in the book are helping!
