Dear Mark
Good luck with your appointment on Monday.
Why is the surgery high risk? I hope you're not in any real danger?
Sending lots of Prayers for success for your surgery.
Great news about your daughter!
How's she going without that med?
Love EM

Hi Neerja thanks for your kind words. Its been a bit of a roller coaster not knowing what was happening with the surgery after originally being scheduled for August and then bing postponed and now back on. It hasn't been good for my anxiety.
Take care,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
I understand it must really hard with the schedule being changed, it's not nice that they keep on changing the scheduled date. It must be pressuring, worrying and uncomfortable with the schedule changes.
I had surgery once when I was in prep, they did the same thing.
Please know that we are all here for you and praying for the surgery to go well.
Wishing you the very best health and happiness in life
Warmest wishes,
Your friend,
Neerja

Oh Matchy that's horrible.
Have the Drs or specialists explained the process to you?
And how long you'll be in hospital for?
Do you think you could plan something nice for yourself for a date after the surgery?
I find that planning nice things after a known "yuck" date is really helpful for me to concentrate on.
Love EM
