Omg... I getting scared help please!
Panic is normal! I went thru it at different times prior to the surgery and most of us on the board did as well. Everyone goes it to one degree or another. I think that is why most doctors offer a single relaxing pill the night before - to help everyone's anxiety. I didnt take the pill, but worried anyways.
You're going to be fine. You've done your research. You've picked a good surgeon. You've read the boards and know what to expect. You know it won't be a walk in the park during recovery but from reading the posts here you know that in a matter of weeks or months, things are about 1000% better.
It is ok to be scared. But you are going to be ok. Hang in there and keep coming back to the boards for support. Especially on day 5-10 when you may have the emotional reaction to the drugs.
We're here for you.
