Surgery tomorrow, very scared.

I too was very nervous, and I cried some myself! It is very normal. But I didn't write any letters and I refused to believe the worst about my body, health or doctor and staff. Everyone was so amazing and prayer and meditation was everything for me the night before surgery. I also prayed for my medical team as I was being rolled in. Funny enough, I was so relaxed and calm by the time they put me on the table that I fell asleep BEFORE they administered my anesthesia! Lol so weird to fall asleep on your own. Anyway, I'm here talking today and everything was a success. My Dr. Is awesome and my family great. GOD IS GOOD. you will be fine, and congratulations!

And my surgeon said that yes. The odds of something going wrong even slightly are about 1%. Very low.

I had a hernia surgery the year before, so I knew more or less what to expect. I do remember waiting in pre-op and wondering if this would be "it" and I wouldn't wake up.

But then they brought that magical injection that made all the fears go bye-bye. Then I was watching TV and laughing until they rolled me in for surgery. The last thing I would've seen in life was Keeping up with the Khardasians.

You'll do fine! Just be sure to follow the post-surgery plan!

I'll say that before I went in for surgery, we had a conversation about... what if I died. I said this. I'm well insured, you'll be more wealthy and I know you'll never have to worry about money again. If I die, please re-marry and don't mourn and please don't be alone too long. Try to find someone new within 6 months because I wouldn't want you to be alone because of me. It was a serious conversation. That was all the thought we put into it. Things happen but I wasn't ready to leave this place yet.

I'm a single parent with an Autistic child.I made a will out stipulating who would have custody of my kiddo. I found my life insurance policy and wrote out a living will. Then I felt better and less panicky.
