My understanding is that Dr. R's position is you need to be calm enough to wait out the wait without drugs or maybe you aren't READY!!! For me, I used a lot of hypnosis techniques, but the main thing I did was lay there and thank God for bringing me to that point. I acknowledged every person who had gone before me, and who had lost her life, fighting for her life. I knew that there were hundreds of patients who would change places with me in a moment and that I was amazingly blessed to get my turn to dance with the Doctor. I was out before I ever went to OR and didn't remember a thing until I woke up in recovery. You WILL get through the wait, just think of it like waiting for Christmas. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself, after marrying my husband and having my three darling sons! Safe journey, MGB 03 MAY 00 Safely on the other side!!!!
