You are going to do really well - attitude is so much of it - and I was super scared - but also super optimistic - as in - "this isn't going to get me down" - and that helps a lot.   You WILL get through it and you will be amazed that you can have a perfectly "normal" life - whatever that is  The anticipation is hard - it was better once it was over and I had that behind me - after about 5 or 6 months post op, I really didn't think about it a lot  It became my "new normal" and I did great for many years - I have a few ups and downs now - but I'm 53 - oh God - 54 in a week.  So, that's just aging and things get a bit more difficult to deal with - which is part of aging for everyone.  Your can do attitude is going to carry you a long way!  We are cheering for you.
