My name is rob and have recently got a hernia L4-L5 and a small one on L5-S1

Resulting in alot of pain in my left hip and lower down in my leg, I have recently got a tingling feeling in my foot and have lost most of the power in my foot to keep me upright.

Today i got the news that the hernia ia a big one and needs surgery asap.
So nxt week tuesday 08a.m. I am sceduled to have a hernia operation.

And i am terrified to death about beeing put to sleep

Not so much about the operation itself, but the whole going to sleep bit and losing controle.

If anybody has soothing words to calm me down? It would be much appreciated.
I have never been this scared ever in my life...

Thx for reading,

Rob,
