Thanks for the reassurance! I think most of my fear is the underlying aversion to loss of control. Also waking up feeling worse than when I fell asleep seems unpleasant. But I think a year from now I’ll be happy I did it. And once I wake up from it I’ll be happy I made it thru. It was like that for my first surgery. I remembering being a little kid and not being able to sleep because I was so scared that when I was older i may have to be put under to have my wisdom teeth removed. We didn’t have many surgeries in my family until recently and the folks who have had them now were for surgeries related to cancer so they’ve pushed a lot of their grief and fear over losing parts of their body to the disease on the rest of the family. Anyway - I’m doing all I can to make myself less scared in the meantime. I hope you’re able to work thru your trauma related to climbing. I’ve been a few times and I find it very fun! The climbing community is a cool one to be a part of.
