Surgery is in 2 days and I'm feeling super nervous.

[lolawaiting 83]

My surgery is 12/29. For a few weeks I have been miserable doubting myself, surgery, everything. I was so upset I couldn't just do it on my own. I went to a party, had temptations of food and drink and KNEW I couldn't do it on my own. My Daddy just passed this August, so Christmas was unbelievably hard. That made me stop worrying about surgery for a few days and now... I'm at peace, almost excited! I did my pre admin testing yesterday. I'm ready. I know this is right and it's going to change my life. I'm so excited for the new person I'll be next holiday season! I'm still emotional- it's a huge deal- but confused no more. Stick with it, find your peace, you're doing this for all the right reasons in your world- your family.

Hi Tim. It is very normal to feel nervous. I just kept focusing on how much better I would feel, how much healthier I would be, and what it would mean to be able to run with my son! You will do awesome! And how great will it be to have energy to keep up with your daughter. Good luck. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Praying for a safe and uneventful surgery today and a quick recovery. Praying that you feel comfort and peace in your decision and that it adds health to you in abundance. Let us know when you can how you are doing

Had surgery as planned. My doctor said everything went extremely well. The only complication is that I'm apparently allergic to surgical tape (lol). So far so good. If I had to pic a worst part about it there are two: A) the completely unneccesary mental anquish I put myself through beforehand, and the hospital bed which wasn't comfortable in any position. I've been up walking since the day of surgery and each day it gets easier and easier. I'll be moving to the post-op board now so I'll see you app there. Thanks again for all your support.

So glad to hear from you, Tim! Glad it went so well.mAre you home now?

[Timmers 3]

Yes. I am home now. Had the surgery on Friday morning aroun 7:00AM. It took 4.5 hours. Stayed at the hospital overnight. Came home Saturday morning around 6:00AM. I've been getting Water and caffene herbal teas (brewed then cooled) in without any problems. Tomorrow is the first day I can have almond milk, soy milk and such and I'm really looking forward to the change in flavors (never been a big tea guy).
