So my surgery is Friday and I have to admit as strong as I am as a woman....I am having major panic attacks.....I know everything will be OK but it is toooooo REAL and too close to home. The crazy part is me befriending reallysteve and then going through this myself...he has been an amazing friend through this....and there has been so many on this site that has been so dear as well. I don't know how to feel, how to react or to be????/ I am scared and feel very alone....but I am a tough cookie and all will be OK......thanks again...and I will get in touch when I feel up to par...LOL....keep up the good work to all...you all ROCK...luv ya:heart:

    Try not to panic! Breathe, relax, and imagine yourself 6 months from now...

    Also if you need anything after the surgery, like to do an errand for you or anything I can do that. We are not to far from eachother. Just let me know, I'm serious I'm just saying it to be nice. So if you need anything I'm here.

    I understand where you're coming from, the few times I've ever been under the knife I've had that panic, too-- I think it's okay to not know how to feel, or how to act, what got me through was surrounding myself with people that cared about me, including my goofy dad who drew panda bears on everything in that hospital to make me smile..

    :bigsmile:
    *hugs*

    You'll be in my thoughts and prayers

    :heart:Manda
