Thank you both for the comments. I'm confident I'll do well and heal quickly, and I appreciate the recommendation of Judith Prager, Stephanie. 

 

Celeste, on a different (and very much belated) note altogether, I miss your podcasts with Cal Banyan. You brought a lot of wacky energy to the show. ;)

Sending prayers your way for your repair.  It will have fun seeing how fast you can recover and how amazed your doctor will be.  You'll also gain valuable experience of using self hypnosis for healing.  Can't wait to hear the update.

A ready-made, excellent recording that has worked well for the friends to whom I have given it is Judith Simon's Prager's "Guided Imagery for Surgery" at judithprager.com. There's a pre, during and post surgical recording.

Talk to your anesthesiologist beforehand, so s/he'll know you might not need as much anesthesia and also to make sure your headphones and player are acceptable to go into the OR with you - volume can be stabilized and everything is clean and/or wrapped.

You'll find yourself relaxed for the procedure and healing much more quickly than average.

Enjoy!

(no incentive/connection other than having met Judith at an ACHE seminar briefly and having enjoyed her Verbal First Aid seminar. I just recommend her CD because it's good.)
