Did You Freak Out About Surgery on the Day Of?

[Dmclaren83 21]

I had mine on the 22nd and was oddly mater of fact about it. Not to say I wasn't anxious to be in recovery and completed but I was calm day of. I think it's all how you psych yourself up about it.

I had a mini nervous breakdown 2 days before surgery. Cried hysterically in my car in the grocery store parking lot before work. The enormity of everything just kind of hit me all at once. But then I settled down and felt perfectly calm after that. My sister, however, kind of freaked on me in the hospital room before surgery. There I was, in Tijuana, all gowned up, IV in my arm and premeds on board. She's asking over and over if I really wanted to do this and volunteered to "break me out" of there and we could spend the next 3 days sampling tequila by the pool. Needless to say, I stayed and had surgery. ????
