It would be nearly impossible not to be scared, whether you or a loved one is having surgery. That is completely normal, but knowing and understanding what is going to happen helps to calm the nerves a bit. I'm glad you are feeling not quite as nervous as you were a few days ago.
Having this site to answer questions as they come up will help you help your husband through his recovery. I wish all the best for a really good outcome for both of you!
Best wishes... Catherine
