Help! Surgery in one week!

Hey guys - you have been so helpful during this journey, I think I need some encouragement right now. I thought I had 4-6 weeks left until surgery but they called and have scheduled surgery for next Tuesday. Now that it is here, I'm scared to death! I believe everything is going to go ok, but I guess it is just the normal anxiety that everyone goes through. However, I used to have panic attacks (haven't had one in 8 months) but I find myself really having to "breathe them out". It has worked so far, but geez, what's going to happen when next Tuesday gets here? For those of you who got a quick surgery date, did you have time to calm down before the big day arrived? I know this is what I want to do, I have perfect peace about it, but am still anxious. Thanks for your help!
