hi goblue. i have found that warm epsom salt baths and a good comedy and sleepy time tea help calm my nerves prior to surgeries i have had. but don't have any tea or food if the drs told you to fast prior to surgery of course. but the bath and comedies distract me. sitting outside and watching the sunset like littlepaw suggested have also helped me too. i am sure you will be fine and that you're surgery will be a success. i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. soft soft hugs coming your way.
