Thanks for listening. >Sincerely, Maryann ---------- It's okay to be "a little nervous" about having surgery, but sometimes you have to do the things that are the for your body. It's very important, as you know, to listen to what your body feels, and that's not always easy. I wasn't nervous going into my first lap, surprisingly enough. Part of the reason why was because I wanted the answers "now" when it came to my pelvic pain. You are doing the right thing by staying on top of the situation. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. It's going to take a lot of time to cope with the loss, so be patient with yourself. If you wish, on the day of surgery, as their wheeling you down to the OR imagine that she's holding your hand like she did whenever you may have had surgery as a child. I think that could be one way to help you keep from being so nervous. You obviously loved her very much, so use that as one way of to stay positive. I hope that she was especially wonderful to you during the later years of her life. Try to stay positive on the day of surgery, because, I read somewhere that your stress level affects the way you heal. A positive attitude will help you heal faster. Hope all goes well for you, and we're always glad to listen. Sometimes, we just need that extra listening ear. Thinking of you with warm and tender thoughts always, Kristy
