I am new to this forum and getting surgery in 5 days. I am beyond excited an anxious. I can't remember the last time I felt like myself or was able to be able to stand looking at myself in a mirror. I can't wait to start this journey and see where it takes me.

It's normal to be nervous about something happening to a loved one during any surgery. And it's nice that he apologized and said he will support you good luck and I hope all works out

Emotional burst out is most common in the situation you feel now something cant be hold on , and in most of the cases the emotional things comes for good and many a times for bad , as you never thought of reveling some thing but in that emotional situation that will come out.
