Dont be scared, you will be fine! Dont work yourself up because it might scare you more than you should be. You will be fine and have faith in your doctor (although it is hard these days). Technology is amazing these days. I hope you have a good recovery, good luck and i will pray for you!!!! the worst that will happen is you will might set off some metal detectors at the airport, haha, trying to incorporate some humor here. anyways, good luck

It's normal to be scared, and everyone is when they first arrive. But they usually give you medicine to relax beforehand and pain killers afterwards. Especially with pain killers, you may sleep a lot the first few days, so just take things easy, pamper yourself, be sure to drink fluids as soon as they let you. Try not to get frustrated because healing from surgery is a process - it takes a while - so best of luck to you and know that lots of people have you in their thoughts and prayers.

NO way! my 65yr old grandma had wrist surgery as she had carpel tunnel and she was losing the ability to hold onto things, they would just slip out of her hands. Dont be scared, if she can recover no problems so can you!
