Hi Ann,
I'm so sorry things are so hard right now.

Good luck with the operation. I bet those doctors have done that operation many many times and they know exactly how to do it. I think you will be okay but I understand so much the fear that goes with it. Maybe take a stuffed animal to have with you. They can remove it if necessary after you are asleep and put it back so it will be there when you wake up. We're major big on stuffed animals here. They solve everything. lol

Thinking of you SongbirdAndDaisy and wishing you the best.
