Well congrats on surgery and you are completely normal to feel all those things. :) we all did before surgery.

Congrats Bobbie, surgery is just around the corner.  Let me welcome you to the group.  You will find support here, just come share your journey and we will share ours.  Take is easy this weekend, pack your lip balm, a pillow and keep hydrated.  Looking forward to sharing the loser's bench with you.  Always room for more on this side.  Hugs
