Hello,
My surgery date is this Friday, May 2nd. I am/have been having some anxiety but more so over the "after pain/recovery time." I have confidence in God, my surgeon, and the staff. If I'm feeling up to it afterwards, I'll definitely update you/all. Pray for me...

One more thing, what's "funny" is I was scheduled for this surgery back in December. It was canceled due to my SURGEON'S medical emergency! I was then rescheduled for January but then canceled again because evidently he wasn't "better." Then got the call for the upcoming date. During my pre-op appointments and meeting with him, he walks into the room looking great. I ask what happened. As it turns out HE BLEW OUT HIS BACK SHOVELING SNOW! Lol! We both laughed. I was encouraged by the fact that he was/is doing so well. I know that occupational health would not have let him return to work if he was incapacitated in any way. I happen to work for the same institution and know that they do not let us return after FML/sick leave without clearance. So my anxiety about his competence isn't causing my anxiety but he and others say "it's normal" to be anxious.
