You know what? You ARE going to be okay. You're obviously a strong
person, you've made it this far. If you have to have the surgeries, the
you have them done, no matter how much you don't want to (I know that
feeling first hand, I am going in for surgery #4). I know that you feel
helpless and I know how it feels to feel like this will never end. I
think the best advice that I can give is take things one day at a time.
Instead of feeling like you are going to feel horrible for a week, month
or a year, wake up each morning and determine how you feel (bad or
good). I know, easier said than done and I barely take my own advice.
Vent if you need too, that helps too. And most of all remember you are
not alone.
Take care of yourself, my thoughts are with you.
