Suprisingly enough my fear went once in the hospital n i knew i was staying to have the op, had a fortnight of sheer fear that bp would be too high thanx to preop nurse who put the fear of god into me, i had bouts of excitement from time to time as well, this is your big chance once admitted the relief was overwelming, no more nerves till was getting put to sleep n it was one thought as they put the needle in the back of my hand, the next thing i was waking up. all done n dusted just something we have to go through to start our new lives. x
