Fear is Returning

I have my consultation with the surgeon today. Suddenly as I'm reading through the threads and seeing how many times people have gone through this and all the procedures, I'm filling up with fear and with despair. I'm starting to feel this hopelessness sink in again. One post can make me feel like I'll survive this and another makes me feel like the odds really aren't as good as they say. I'm not sure what to do. ;(

All you can do is take a few deep breaths and calm yourself. Letting the fear and panic take over won't change a thing. Expend your energy making a list of questions to ask your surgeon, being prepared puts you in control. Treat yourself and talk to yourself like you would to your best friend if she was in this situation.

There is a process to go through, and you can do it.

Thank you! I know I need to breathe and relax. I want to go home, but there is a dang bee in there...so I refuse until the fiance gets home and gets it out of there! I'm still dumbfounded on how it got in there in the first place.
