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,


Each night when you go to sleep, you are not quite in control. All is well. Not quite the same; but similiar. When sleeping during surgery; all will be well again. When it's time to wake up; you will be wakened.

Sleep well. No room for "fear". here.
