ARVENSIS "Personally what I imagined before surgery was FAR WORSE than my post-op recovery. I still believe the recovery is easier than imagining every detail of what could go wrong; perhaps the difference here is a difference in imagination. Thinking about the procedure was by far worse than dealing with the actualities of the procedure; recovery is step by step, not overnight, Rome wasn't built in a day blah blah. "

This is me exactly. I have thought, worried, stressed, cried, went to the indoor shooting range over the frustration... When he shceduled my surgery I was so stoked, and still am...I have pictured myself in pure pain, torture, bleeding, fatigue, swelling, beating my head against the wall till I am sick of it. I really want to be on the other side and begin the recovery....

Thanks to all for all the kind words. This time next week I will be in surgery. :shock:
