Hi šŸ‘‹ itā€™s me again. Iā€™m so nervous about my surgery which is coming up in less than 2 days. Any advice?

@eigna32 When I am very nervous about something coming up, for instance, about my cancer surveillance check on April 19 I tell myself to let the thought go. I say to myself that of course I am nervous and put my hand over my heart to give myself kindness. That day isnā€™t here yet and I canā€™t do anything about it. I also learned a breathing technique that I find calming. I trace the thumb and fingers on one hand with my pointer finger on the other hand. This is like tracing your hand on paper. When I trace up a finger then I breathe in and when I trace down the other side of the finger I breathe out. Then I move to the next finger as so on. When youā€™ve finished you can start again. You can pace your breathing that way and the sensation on your fingers keeps your attention on the breathing so your mind wonā€™t wander off so much into the future.

Is there anything you like to do that is calming and enjoyable? Knitting or crocheting? Coloring a picture? Taking a warm bath?

Do any of these suggestions appeal to you?

@eigna32 If I calculate this correctly your surgery occurred last week on April 11. How are you feeling? Do you any results yet from pathology regarding the tissue that was removed?
