I’m nervous because it’s another surgery.
Further surgery may be necessary.
I’m trying really hard to muster up enough courage to not cry.

It’s ok to cry.
It’s not ok to keep bottling up these emotions.
It’s human nature to act on emotions.
I’m not going to worry about the future because it hasn’t happened yet.
Focus on the now.
Hope for the best and prepare for the unexpected.

Courage differs from recklessness in coming from a strong mature assessment. A reckless person has not anticipated the likeliest of consequences; a courageous person has, and is ready to face any eventuality that might arise, even the ones that cannot be foreseen.  -Anonymous

Courage at its best!

Courage at its best!
