Surgery

[EricaScott]

Ouch. I'm sorry you have to go through that, but honestly, you will be fine. My stepdad has had hernia surgery twice and he breezed through it.

There is nothing wrong with being nervous. If you weren't, THEN we might wonder about you. Best of luck, and until the time of the surgery, try to keep busy and distracted so you won't think about it too much. -- Erica

Like Erica's stepdad, I've had the dubious distinction of going through hernia surgery twice (once on each side), and also like Erica's stepdad, I encountered no problems whatsoever. I can appreciate your feelings of apprehension, though, rangerboy, since I was a bit apprehensive myself prior to my first surgery. Hope things go just as smoothly for you as they did for me, and as Erica has suggested, try not to obsess too much about the experience.

Hope your surgery goes well and you're feeling good real soon.

I think you'd have more to worry about if you weren't worried about it! Worry is healthy and perfectly normal!
