 Aww that’s what I’m gonna do. Bring headphones and do breathing techniques. The main fear is just the iv, secondary fear is waking up with a lot of incisions

 Ah k you can get past the IV part if you try! The mind is stronger than the body, you don't want to think about the needle or anything if possible. If the nurse/doctor giving the iv is really friendly and calm and so is the hospital, that can work out good. 

but yeah hospitals aren't exactly known for inducing calm in patients, headphones A+++

Meh your incisions don't really mean anything... puzzles is gonna be there when you wake up and that physical scars heal quick, emotional way longer. 

YOU'LL BE RIGHT MATE!!!!! 🫂
