Angel,
You've had some great responses on this thread from our members! Don't know that there's anything I can add that hasn't already been said. But just wanted to encourage you to keep reading and keep posting, and to tell you we will all be there with you in spirit when you have the surgery. And we look forward to hearing from you as you proceed through a good recovery. As others have said, most of us experienced the very same fears -- young, old, male, female; we all had those fears -- but we did this thing and came out the better for it. And you will, too.
