I had to wait a week to have my surgery. What a long week. People calling, most of them scaring me to death. So, I stopped answering the phone. Hiding out is good for the nerves sometimes. I kept picturing the operating table and trying to get on the table without having a heart attack.

It played over and over in my mind.

You can imagine the feeling of packing your bags to go to sunny California to have brain surgery?

I don't know how I remained so calm.
