@karieblu Your appointment is coming up soon. I do understand your nervousness as I felt the same way when I first met with my surgeon. My husband came to the appointment with me and I'm glad he did. He had some of his own questions and I was so nervous I figured there would be something I'd miss or would not remember. I really needed a loved one with me to hold my hand throughout.

I wrote many of my questions on paper before my appointment. As it turned out my surgeon was so comprehensive in her explanation that she answered about 90% of my question that I did not need to ask.

I was very nervous the day of my hysterectomy. The nurses and all of the staff were so skilled that truly I felt like I was be attended to by angels. I often reflect on that because I'm such an anxious person most of the time that it's hard for me to believe I could be so peaceful before surgery.

Is there someone who will go to your appointment with you? Have you written some questions you'd like to ask?
