Anesthesia is a wonderful thing when they administer it. You feel worried now but not once you are medicated just before the surgery. It’s also good news that you are improving and they are able to operate. Optimistic outcome.
I’m up too at 3 am.

I think I am translating my worry more into thinking of things I want to get done before the surgery. I am not scared of the surgery but am just hoping the outcome goes well. They said there are more risks of swelling/nerve damage associated with removing my lymph nodes than the breast surgery. I had nerve damage in my right hand/arm (pinched nerve?) from my 2015 operation but it finally healed (it took more than a year). This surgery will affect my left arm (which is better because nerve damage flairs up when you use it) and I am right handed.
Three AM is my normal wake up time. It has been that way for decades. I always looked at getting up early as time for myself to think, plan and do what I want.
