Of course you are worried and fearful, Michelle, but find ways to "turn the mind" away from the thoughts that induce the frustration, fear and even terror as much of the time as possible. Some activity that engages as many of the senses as possible in the present can be helpful. The idea is to find ways to tolerate the distress without making it worse. It is not about trying to banish fear, it is about finding ways to not dwell on the fear.

Sending {{{hugs}}} and caring for your well-being.
