I went today for my final visit before surgery. I am indeed nervous, nervous! Talked a little to my doctor about it today and he said it is perfectly normal, so I am just trying to breathe!

Everything is moving too fast and too slow all at the same time! Had a reality check when I went out with girl friends for my "last hurrah" but it will be worth it!

Elvislover I am July 10 so we will have to check in on each other!

Just don't forget to do your foot exercises as soon as you can start! Most hospitals should have you on a foot pump that moves your foot to stimulate blood flow ad decrease venous pooling. Remember to use your inspiration spirometer and walk when they tell you too!!

Some patients pre op use visualization to help with anxiety. Others do relaxation stuff. Personally when I get nervous I kick back, pop on some enya and try to relax. If that doesn't work ....

I pop battlefield 3 In the ol Xbox and kill people.

Lol hang in there and just remeber that you will be fine. At the risk of sounding like a dork follow the words of the all knowing morphius. "don't think you are, know you are"
