...hormones (or lack thereof) can definitely affect your mood (trust me... PMS ... I know, I'm a crying fool once a month). Couple that with your natural anxiety about your upcoming procedure and ta da... receipe for tears. You WILL be fine though. And you'll come out of this so on top - just think - no more back pain eventually. Gads. (and in the meantime wearing a corset! Stylin'!). :) Ok ok .. I'm being silly but I'm trying to make you smile. You know me. I love to hear you laugh. I'll have to call and talk to you before then, I'm sure I can make a fool out of myself enough to solicit one giggle.
