You're right. Surgery is scary to me too, but am glad you trust your doctors. I had a minor procedure on Thursday, and I cannot believe why I was nervous about it. Guess it's just normal cause I 'm not in control when I'm under anesthesia, and am always surprised when they wake me up and tell me it's all over. You're going to be fine, and I'll be thinking of you. Let us know how it all goes, ok?

Oh, my! So that memory is popping up. No wonder you're a bit scared.

When I was younger I had to have some similar surgery and after I was supposed to be asleep, I opened my eyes, looked at my surgeon and told him "I don't like that"!. He was making his first incision and yelled at the anesthesiologist and I went back to sleep. Wish you could have seen my doctor's face the next day and asked him why that happened; he didn't think I would remember it.

Now you made me remember it, and I just shake my head, but it wasn't funny until I saw his face the next day. :)

So, I understand why you must be a bit nervous. Aren't bad memories a pain in the behind; they come up sometimes when we need them the least.

Try to remember how great it was to have your baby afterward. Sorry, you seem to know something about the recovery being difficult, but think you are a very wise and strong woman to know the facts and are prepared for it.

I'll be looking for your posts.xxx
