We've all been in your shoes sweetheart. What you're feeling is completely normal.

I'll be holding you in my thoughts and prayers and I'll keep a spot warm for you on the losers bench.

I can imagine how you feel, honestly I can. Maybe you could try to focus on the days past the surgery date, just like your friend said. You have your family supporting you - regardless of their understanding, and be assured you have your TT family right there beside you, all the way. Hey you're heading to the losers bench.

I'm sending anti-anxiety vibes and "you'll do awesome" vibes.

You're probably out of surgery already! Sending vibes anyway

Gee, I know you're on the other side and probably not home yet, but I hope you are busy walking and sipping (and lots of sleeping) by now!

Touch bases with us when you can.
