Raymond - You really can do this, and you deserve to have whatever help you need to get through the anxious moments. Dr. Carlson is my son's doctor and he and his whole office are very caring and compassionate people. Do call and ask about anti-anxiety meds. Have the drugstore phone number handy in case they decide to phone in a prescription for you. Just calling and taking steps to feel better and prepare for the surgery will make you feel more in control of your recovery. I'll be thinking about you and sending special prayers your way.
