what were your emotions the week leading up to surgery

[roziecakes 20]

I'm surprised at how calm I feel about the whole thing. I guess part of it is that I really trust my surgeon. He is a friend of my stepdad's; (my stepdad is an ICU nurse), and he has an excellent record. I feel really excited, and I keep daydreaming about all of the things that I'm going to do to make my life better; and all the things I'll be able to do when I'm healthy.

My partner, Greg, however, is freaking out. He thinks I'm going to die, and he's worried sick. Poor thing. It doesn't help that I traveled from Oregon to California to get this done, and Greg can't be here with me because he just started his new job last week, so he can't take any time off.

I'm grateful to have my mom and stepdad as a support system while I'm here.

My emotions were excitement. I was excited to change my life, excited to feel better, excited to not be depressed. Sure maybe in the back of my mind, I was a tad worried, I know the risks of anesthesia very well. But you know what I don't regret having this surgery for one second. I have not been depressed in over 5 months. And while I still have a ways to go I feel so good and I look 100 ttimes better. (in clothes)
