Thanks everyone. All settled in our hotel room, yesterday midday. Met up with an online friend yesterday afternoon .. first time in person. Today is all about my birthday. She was excited to find out that today is my birthday on top of surgery tomorrow. She's already regaled me with her own recovery process.
No anxiety yet. Probably won't until just before time. Not about why, about surgery in the first place. I expect about the same the name level of anxiety as when I had my neck surgery.
