Nervous about my surgery date!

[RDCLambert 39]

So I spoke with my surgeons office today and yay I passed my Pysch evaluation. Not that I didn't think I would but still excited. So! He tells me my date will likely be the 17th or 18th of December. This makes me extremely nervous as Christmas is only a week after this and I have a 1 year old. Well at christmas she will be almost 2. I am so scared I will either be in too much pain or tired and miss her Christmas or even worse something go wrong and me be in the hospital. I know this is what I need and want and I have worked to hard to get here. He is going to try very hard to make it the week prior but if not..I will be a hot mess! My last PCP visit is 11/25 and due to insurance deductible I dont want to go into January. Ugh!! How where you a week after surgery ??

I was okay until the night before, I thought about if it was really worth it if something went wrong . I have 4 daughters and I just didn't know...I also was going to miss food but in the end , whatever will be will be...you have to go in knowing your doing this for the right reason and as long as you do everything you should, it should be ok

I was back to work in a week.. but everyone heals differently. My recovery time was super fast and I did very well.

Thanks everyone. Its just the mom in me nervous in ruining her holiday. Of course I know she wont remember and we will make it through whatever happens but its just really getting to me. My husband was amazing in helping me with this today because I was a mess!

It sounds like you have a good, supportive husband behind you. I'm sure he'll be a great help to you when you need it. Think of this as a Christmas gift you are giving to yourself, your husband, and your daughter. For yourself it's the gift of good health, stamina, long life, and self-confidence. For your husband it's the gift of a more active, happier wife (looking better and feeling sexier is a bonus!). For your daughter it's the gift of a healthier mom who can play with her and be an active part of her life for many, many years to come!

And I also had an easy time of it after surgery. Little pain, no complications, quick recovery! Good luck to you! :-)

Thank you so much!! I absolutely know I am making the right desicion and I guess no time is a good time for surgery or being out of work or not able to pick up your child ! I truky think when I got the news I was cleared from my Pysch eval that it made it real...I still have 2 more PCP apoointments but Ive already been cleared but still have to go to those appointments and again not as if I was expecting to fail but I think it made me realize Omg this is actually going to happen. I knew I could come here and get support!! My husband is amazing and I an so thankful for him but having support of people who have already been here really helps!
