You guys are all so right about the attitude. Thankfully, I just watched the movie 'The Secret' about two months ago....it's like someone knew I would face this and I needed to be shown how to manifest positive thinking ahead of time.
I've mostly been a negative person in my history, but that has been changing ...
I'm being prudent by lining up Power of Attorney and stuff like that (even if benign, brain surgery can leave you a bit wonky for a time) but I don't believe I am staring down death, and I KNOW .... I mean, I KNOW!!! .... that this will make be an even better nurse!
Thank you everyone!
