Sometimes reading too much is not good.

At least this is what Tom tells me.  I, on the other hand, am a planner which means I need to know exactly what I am in for and how I need to prepare for the surgery coming up.  So I've read hundreds of posts about BMX and DIEP reconstruction from my peeps at Breastcancer.org and it has been helpful and terrifying.
The closer I get to surgery the more terrified I am.  I continue to pray and that calms me but as soon as I "take back my problems from God" the anxiety begins again.  I think about drains, and pain and constipation.....oh my!  I know I will get through it and will ultimately forget the pain, etc., but for now I am overwhelmed.  I know....this too shall pass.
