[Being afraid is very normal. When I came to this site, I was in a panicked state and crying. Terrified, freaking, you name it. The folks here got me calmed down and talked to me as long as I needed to settle down some. They also got me though that surgery with confidence. None of it is easy if you have to go that route, but it can turn out OK.
Not having a doc. in your area, tell your physician that. Let them keep you an extra day in the hospital if at all possible, just to make sure things are OK. These days they shove you out sometimes sooner than you shoud go.
I refused to go, no joke, that second day, the nurse would not let me up to get my own cloths, bathe, saying it was too soon, yet they were ready to send me home. My pain levels were not under control either, so I simply told my doctor, I wanted to stay one more day. No problem! Let me know how you do, and keep that list of questions for your Doc. It will be OK. ginnie
