Keeping Myself Mentally Prepared

Knowledge is key these days about EVERYTHING in life I just wish a lot more people would realize it & do more of it.

It is better to get it done with than have that problem on your hands

I will pray for you. My sister and mom both had it, and felt a lot better for it.

I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way! It's completely normal to feel nervous, especially with it being your first surgery. Wishing you a smooth procedure and a speedy recovery! I might also have a surgery but I am hoping the antibiotics will be enough and there will be no need for that surgery.

It is a very minor surgery, a friend of my Mom had this when she was already 80, you can relax, but I understand your anxiety. You will be in my thoughts. Take care and let us know how do you feel after surgery.

Hope your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

You'll do fine. My sister had a pretty serious case of that. She had to wear a brace.

Will definitely keep you in my prayers for your surgery.

I'm not sure knowledge really does reduce anxiety. An acquaintance recently told me she was awaiting surgery to remove a tumour behind her nose. She seemed quite looking forward to it but knowing what's involved, I find it frankly terrifying! Anyway I'm sure your surgery will all be fine, as you say it's quite minor and done under local anaesthetic so I'm sure it will all go smoothly.

My mother had carpel tunnel and she had surgery too. She said it didn't hurt because they numbed it first.

Sending prayers and positive vibes for your upcoming surgery. It's good to know as much as you can about these things. I hope it's helped you feel more positive.

You will do well. Everyone I know who has had that done was so glad they went ahead and did it. It will be worth it in the end!
