I (f 49) have surgery on the 8th. Long story short I have been septic before (2024 after a hysterectomy and I required a picc line for a month) and I am scared shitless -all puns intended- about having surgery. I am hopeful that this will finally get rid of the pain I have been in for years. There is a chance that my lap procedure will become an open surgery due to all of the scarring from the 7 cm abscess and and the drain line and the subsequent fistula from the abscess. I have had 2 serious flares since then and was hospitalized for 5 days each time. I need any tips, advice and words of encouragement!

Female, 49, right handed.. tell me anything you see.
Edit: you’ll obviously see I’m absent minded and forgot to post the pictures. They are in the comments.
