Having a surgery planned, or elective is concerning. There are so many questions and concerns.
I know I had a total knee replacement surgery a year ago, and while my surgeon and the facility where I was having the procedure were awesome in providing prep documents and answering my questions, I was still anxious.
I remember creating these scenarios about what could happen and wanting to ask additional questions to put my mind at ease but being hesitant to do so.
