Got my surgery date! Excited and pertrified

[fourleaf 6]

I'm scheduled for August 6th. Aetna is still officially pending, but the insurance guru at the surgeon's office said that she's confident it'll get through. I am so excited to start this journey and get healthy and active again. However, I am also petrified. I've never had a serious surgery before and I am so scared of how painful it's going to be. Is it so painful that I am I really not going to be able to go back to work ( a total desk job with no lifting or anything) for two weeks?

Congratulations ! I'm August 14. When they called to give me the date I was so excited. Then the butterflies set in.

We should start an August surgery group! I completely understand the butterflies! I couldn't stop shaking. Our hard work is finally paying off

We should! It's so exciting to hear from you both. I'm glad it's not just me; Somehow feeling alone makes things scarier for me.
