Wishing you all the best.
Nice to know you're still around, Hornet. I probably wouldn't be so apprehensive except two of my favorite people died after going into the hospital for "routine" surgery. One of them was Joan Rivers, an the other was a guy named Dwayne McDuffie. I know you know who Joan Rivers was, and Dwayne was the man who created Static Shock, Justice League Unlimited, and Milestone Comics. I didn't know Joan at all, but Dwayne and I got into it every now and then online. I miss him.
Speaking of traumatic childhood thoughts, the first time I ever heard the term "hang up" was when I was a child of about 4. Someone, I can't quite remember who, was talking to my mother on the telephone and they said that she hung up. Now why was this so traumatic? Don't forget I'm a black man from the Deep South. So when someone was talking about my other being hung up on guess where my mind went. I couldn't stop crying until I saw my mother walking in the door later that day. I had nightmares about my mother leaving me alone right up until she passed away about 20 years ago. And my father had died when I was two, so she was the only parent I ever knew I had.Thanks. Believe me I can understand your apprehension, I have always had a fear of hospitals, I mean more than normal. I think it comes from seeing my mother being taken off to hospital in an ambulance when I was a very young child, I was too young to understand other than that my mother was being taken from me.
Well, what can I say? I was 4. It stuck for a while, but as I grew older it eased up some. Never really did outgrow it though, but someone did explain to me what the term "hanging up" on someone meant when I was 4.That sounds about as traumatic as it can get!

I've, so far, decided not to have the surgery. I'm going to take my chances on going without it. Probably a mistake, but...
