Dear Jorja,

YOU GOT THIS.

Deep breaths, and you got this!

This is a good thing, you know it is. This is something we have wanted, and fought for! This is something that will bring years of wondering to an end. And if the results aren't positive for this particular disease, we'll at least we know for sure one more thing that it isn't, right? It'll be uncomfortable, and you'll be nervous, but it'll be over before you know it, and then you'll get some damn answers. And that's the whole point!

Besides all that, here are some reassuring points to keep in mind tomorrow morning:

1. We have Ativan!!

2. You have been through the day surgery process, already, a few times. You know how things go when you arrive, and while you're waiting, so there's no need to panic over that! And while this hospital stay will last a lot longer then the last, and while the recovery process may feel disgusting..you get drugs for that too!

3. This gyno surgeon is well loved, and recommended because he is so good

4. They will have taken your measurements a total of 3 times, so there's no way they will give you insufficient anesthesia and there's no way you'll wake up mid-surgery and have a heart attack and die

5. As a matter of fact, only 4 out of 1000 laparoscopic surgery patients suffer from complications (sometimes fatal), and for sure 4 people out of the last 999 have died already.

6. If there are complications, you can probably sue someone for a ton of money. If there are fatal complications, your parents can sue, and you'll have the fanciest funeral ever!

7. You have a fridge full of Jello and Snapple to come home to, and a freshly washed bed

8. You'll be too distracted by all the texts from all your friends and family to even notice how much pain you're in once you get home!

9. Prince Charming is very eager to keep you company through recovery, even if you're puking, and King Daddy has already dealt with you at you're sickest, so he's prepared too!

10. Oh! You'll be able to find out finally, whether or not you can have babies!

11. People will feel bad for you, and bring you presents (cash is preferred, but teddy bears and soup will be appreciated also)

12. At least you're not being fired from your job for taking a whole week and a half off!

13. At least you're not a US citizen and are going to be flat-broke when you wake up again...

14. At least it's not open heart surgery, or one of those AWAKE brain surgeries that McDreamy loves so much. Oh! When you wake up there will be a brand new episode of Greys downloaded to watch!

Ok, that's enough. I'm tired now.

Keep breathing slowly, make sarcastic jokes when you get too nervous, warn the IV nurse that she only gets one try at your arm, and you'll be laughing one day soon over how worked up you were over practically nothing. Promise!

Ok. Maybe not LAUGHING. But you'll be proud you went through with it, and you'll be EVEN braver for the next time. Can't complain about that!

Now get to sleep before the hunger pains drive you insane :)

Love,
Princess Georgia
