Surgery Is Tomorrow

[Mel1976 47]

Well...surgery is Tomorrow. I am getting more and more nervous. I know that I am doing the right thing, but I am worried about the kids being without me for 3 or so days. I know that their dad will be here with them, but I still worry. I have spent most of the day cooking meals so they all eat good while I am gone.

You'll do great Mel! I have 2 toddlers. I sent them to stay with a relative for a week so my husband could care for me and not get too stressed. I don't know young your kids are but if they are young you may need some more time when you get home. Maybe your husband could set up a day or 2 away so you can recoup with him. Regardless you will be great. Precooking meals is smart! Sending a prayer your way.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I just hope I can sleep tonight. I think I am ready, but then I start to second guess myself. I know this is what is best for me, since I want to be around a long time for my kids and my honey!

Good luck Mel!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much. I know that my hubby has this all under control. Just nervous, as I have never been away from my kids this long.

Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow Mel. Mine is tomorrow also.

Good luck to you as well. I can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks for the support. My kids are 15, 12, and 10 so I should be good. They are all prepared for mom having to take it easy. If my kids were younger I would send them to my parents for the week. I think it is going to be nice to have them around while I recover. The good thing is they are going to be on winter break soon so they will be here to help.
