Re: Damned if you do, damned if you don't

S'ok. Everybody is anxious about surgery, I think. Or almost

everybody. There's something about driving up to the hospital,

especially when you know you (or someone you love) are to undergo a

big procedure.

Just remember -- you'll have more and better experts taking more and

more attentive care of you while you're having the surgery than

probably at any other time in your life.

And the biggest hazards of the whole thing come while you're in the

automobile driving to and from the hospital -- but we never even

think about that!

All that said, you'll worry and be anxious. Then you'll go and get it

done, recover a while, and then wonder what you were really worried

about... I'll bet.
