I'm getting there with my recovery as you will.  It's hard  I have up days and down days.  But it helps to think of th e future.   I've not long joined this forum and have found that chatting to people who are going through similar experiences as me has helped me to cope.  I find I can say things on here that I can't even talk to my husband about and he's been brilliant through the whole thing.  I was told. Take you time and go through things and feelings at your own pace.  It was good advice.   
 

keep in touch and let us know how the pre op goes xxx
