any good advice appreciated as I get closer to surgery

Focus on where you want to go; never focus on your Fears.
And Focus means
Follow-----
One --'--
Course--'-'
Until --'-'
Successful.
Start Walking, enjoying nature and your surroundings. This will get you prepared for pist-surgical exercise. Follow your Doctor's instructions, they have been in the business longer, seen patients through this before, they know what works and what doesn't. Yeah We Are All Different but most of the basics still apply.
Practice taking small sips, after surgery you wont be able to chug like a sailor on shore leave. Slow down the speed that you eat now, the practice will stand you in good stead. And every day be grateful,you have been approved for surgery, many people didn't get approved, they would exchange
places with you in a. ❤beat.
And change is a part of challenge, if you really look you can see the word within it.

thanks for the good advice
