Re: Going in for Surgery
I've had stents put in me and removed, had a laser inserted in me and fired, wisdom teeth removed, and a long while ago, surgery on my big toes to remove 1/3 of the nails, where I had 7 needles plunged in between the toes of each foot.
Surgery is a horrible experience, but often the alternative is even worse.
That being said, once it's over you'll be able to look back on it with different eyes.
Memorize the litany against fear, and remember that denial can be a powerful thing. Even though you'll be there, just remind yourself that you aren't. That tends to get me through any experience that requires needles, which terrify me to the very core of my being.
