    scheduled right anterior January 6

    Best wishes to all facing surgery in the new year, i found that by reading as much as i could on BS i was able to learn a bit about the procedure etc, the knowledge really alleviated my fears as i'm convinced it is fear of the unknown that we all suffer from. I must say that out of all the fears...
