Ellen Leng I don't know where you find your place of peace...prayer, meditation, walking, etc. I used meditation with an app called Insight Timer which has different types and length of meditation. I don't know if the guided imagery that CC uses is on-line. Prayer group, friends? I find talking about my fears helps. It's my belief that this surgery is performed by some of the best hands in the world. Take care

Phyllis Petersen I think we all go in a bit scared. I'm on the 13th too. I have confidence in my surgeon and the hospital and know that this has to be done before there is more damage to the heart. So I'm doing everything I can to load the deck: prayer (both my own and so many family and friends), guided imagery, yoga and other exercise. Whatever helps! Good luck on your surgery.

Bob Fessler Everyone is terrified to some degree. Hang in there. You decided that you need this and the odds are great that you will have a much improved heart and life after surgery. You can do this. You will be okay as others on this board can attest.
