you have written means you can't get through this with ultimately good results. Breath deeply and don't let yourself dwell on the fears of the unknown. Yes, of course they are there, but move them way to the back of your mind and take everything as the most positive they can be. Every step is one toward resolution. Day by day. Positive thoughts will steer your mind and yes, be good for your body too!
Now go get some sleep knowing we are all going to be thinking of you with best healing thoughts!
