Pre op jitters

[ellabell2140 2]

I am scheduled for April 8. I am very nervous. I am a nurse so I feel like I know too much. I have always been the one providing the care now I will have to be on the other side of the bed. I am very nervous. My poor husband he is trying but I have been so cranky with him, I can't help it. I know that I'm being irrational most of the time because I'm scared. Also to add to the stress my brother in law has moved in with us. And my mother is having heart problems. My normal coping mechanism is to eat everything in sight but I'm on the blasted pre op diet. Any advise?

wow, you know they say when it rains...it pours! But this is your time to get healthy. Just focus on other things than eating...go for a walk it helps relive stress and will make you feel better.

Will say a prayer for peace for you and hope your situation improves with the family!
