20. For some reason I wasn't even nervous

I was kind of worried about how relaxed my attitude was. I was more worried about having everything I'd need afterwards. But, honestly, I feel like I could probably do just about anything, so I have to keep reminding myself not to do anything strenuous.

I'll be looking forward to hearing about your experience.

BTW, my paperwork said to use crushed ice in water for the ice bag. I just used a ziplock-type freezer bag and put a paper towel around it. I didn't go to the trouble to crush the ice, and it's just fine. Feels good.
