Anne Marie.....I think that once you get started, and get a routine, as unpleasant as it might be, you are going to feel better. The unknown is a scary thing. Our imaginations don't do us any favors, do they? You are gonna be fine. And Tuesday is ALMOST here. I call my surgery "my adventure," ...and there were blessings mixed into the obvious difficulties. Try to see the blessings. They are there, and I can tell that you have enough sensitivity to see them. Please let us know how you feel after Tuesday!! You go, girl!
