Try to stay busy and do things that will keep your mind occupied. It will help pass the time productively so you dont sit and worry. Our minds play some nasty tricks on us when we worry, it starts the 'what if' thinking which isnt helpful at all.
I wish I could help ease your fears. Just know, you are not alone in this. You have lots of friends here and on FB who are cheering you on. We are here to lean on. Dont worry, we are in your corner and will help cheer you on.
Be well my friend!!! (((HUGS)))
