Looking for a Buddy

I am having my surgery on April 11 in Chicago. Looking for a buddy to email and talk too. I am scared that I can't do this at all.

I'll be your buddy. My surgery is April 10th in Mexico. I have no family support. I only have 2 friends that know about it. One is a coworker and my other friend lives in Albuquerque. I'm in Oregon. Scared and lonely.

None of my friends know that I am getting the surgery. I tried to talk to them about it but they told me I should be able to do it by myself. How long do you have to be in Mexico? If you want to email my email address is starlove3006@gmail.com.
