Fear of Failure

I want to thank everyone for their thougths and encouragement! I am working hard on my thinking- ahead of time. I know  my head is not quite in the right place yet- but I also know I will get there. That is why I decided to wait for summer instead of Spring break for surgery.  I have started to make a list of all the reasons I really need this surgery and I want to keep these things foremost instead of the thoughts of what I am giving up! It's already a very long list. A brownie does not stack up very well against regaining mobiity, for example, if only I can remember that at the critical moment!  I think life is more important than hair. I made that choice once before afterall. I can do that again.  I am thinking about stress reduction a lot. I might pursue hypnosis and/or acupuncture to help me as well. I have found a place to exercise that has a warm water therapy pool and that is helping me to a huge degree! Thanks again! Mary
