taarthi, I forgot to add - It is ok to cry. I cried often.
Early in our journey, my husband made me promise him that I would not go off to cry alone. We shared many tears together as we held on to each other for support.
Hugs

@rosemarya I have a quick question to ask you. I am overcoming my anxiety about the surgery except for one part. I am afraid that I will be awake when the breathing tube goes in and waking to having the breathing tube still in place. I have had a few nasty experiences where I wasn't completely sedated and choking on the breathing tube as it was inserted. I'm also afraid of waking and choking on the tube. Do they wait until you are totally out to insert the tube and do they remove it prior to waking?
