I'm waiting for more pain drugs that should make me hella high, so I won't be anxious then. I didn't think of the scar lol. I've just been telling people I'm gonna be cyborg
They can help you with pain, nausea, and anxiety through meds. Scar: your surgeon will tell you what scar cream to use when the scar is ready for it. Having to ask for help post-op gets old quickly. But it's a great way to see who your good friends and family are, and the kindness of strangers! Also, you can pay it forward in the future by giving this information to someone else and helping when someone is struggling! You're gonna do great! 
I already have the full support of everyone in my life. My work even offered me a payout from our company accident insurance so I don't have to worry about finances. I was hurt when I was working at home and it didn't even have anything to do with my work. I have to wait until after my surgery to get the payout. My leg is too swollen to have the surgery today. I have to check in on Monday and see if the swelling is down enough for me to be operated on.
