The anxiety leading up to surgery was the worst part! I was ready for them to just get it on and be done with it! Time seemed to be going at half speed during this period, as well as the first few months post-op. Hang in there though, it'll be a distant memory before you know it. Now (17 months out) it seems like a lifetime ago! I pray the surgery is textbook and that you'll soon be cursing the nurses for waking every few hours to check you out and making you walk the halls! LOL

Godspeed for a rapid recovery!

You will do fine. By day 2 I felt good. I was up and walking day one but sore.... Just remember follow all your doctors rules and get up and walk as soon as possible. It will keep complications down... will be thinking of you...

Take a deep breath and breathe!! You will do fine and everything will be ok
