tammy-gibson@hotmail.com 1 Posted June 3, 2013 I have two weeks left until surgery. I worry about blood clots. I have to take the shots for 14 days after. Nothing about the surgery bothers me except that. Thanks ladies I can't wait and I am trying not to worry. I am new at this and trying to figure out how to responded to post. I hope this is right.

JoiaRox 430 Posted June 3, 2013 Knowing that you have a plan of attack is great! It's tough to be anxious or worry about things we think are coming...my advice? Let go of the worry. It only takes energy that could be used for more positive things! 2 tammy-gibson@hotmail.com and momrox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
