Setting a Surgery Date

Ok everyone. New girl on the block :-) I am working with my patient coordinator to set a surgery date in October. And I feel....well...freaked out? I want it. I've considered doing it for a few years. I'm tired of being this way. My arthritic back would say it's necessary (yes I'm 30 and I have arthritis in my spine.) But it feels like such a big step. Did you feel freaked out at committing to it?

I just committed a couple of days ago and immediately began to Freak The Eff Out (see here). I even started biting my nails, and I have never in my life been a nail-biter. You are not alone, Sara T!

PS: Shoot for October 10. That's my date and we can be on the same freak-out timeline together, hooray!

(PPS: I am just trying not to think about it too much.)
