Hey Raymond,

This is going to sound weird, but hear me out. I remember that there was once a study that showed that the best intervention for pre-surgery anxiety was information about the surgery.

For my recent dissection, I looked on the internet for everything I could find. I found pictures of the procedure, descriptions, everything. It was weird thinking "They're going to do that to ME?", but it helped.

Just an idea...
