I could make a joke of what do have to be nervous about but it would be
in bad taste. I feel for you and you will be in my thoughts. I hope
this does the trick for you. You've done your research and have the
best doctor for you. You know that you are in good hands. I wish I
could give magic words to take the nerves away but I don't know of any.
I can say to keep busy but that's obvious. I hate to tell you to cry
but it can cleanse you. Concentrate on after the surgeries and how you
will heal. Take your time. Slow and steady wins the race. Keep us
updated and good luck.
