Jocelyn,
That is so encouraging to me, I can't tell you. I can relate to so much of what you just said. I worry sometimes that I'm going to freak out when I wake up and it's REALLY HURTING or when I'm nauseous, which is another fear, I HATE throwing up. And I'll forget the whole reason I went into it in the first place.
You are calming me down about that....I don't need to get my shorts in a knot about the pain when I haven't even experienced it yet, ha ha and duh!
August 22, that's my date, and I'm grateful for the "you can do this" from you.
