Hi everyone I've been doing meditations but can anyone give me advice please on how to stay calm before the op ?

Hi All, I have recently found that MRI and X-rays show I have very little cartilage under my right knee cap. It’s become very painful and now been given Naproxen to help, x2 500mg not really helping.
