[1BigHeart 26]

Hello folks,

My surgery is set for Monday morning! Nervous, excited, nervous, excited.......

This is officially my first surgery (except for a c-section). I am very nervous about going under anaesthesia.

This forum has been so helpful and I thank you for all the information and sharing.

Night before surgery.............

I am strangely calm. I didn't get everything completed at home that I planned, but that's ok. Clear Liquids until midnight, then NPO. I'm nervous about the surgery and how I'll deal with emotions post op.

Here's an idea I am going to try: I wrote all kinds of emotional thoughts (yup, from the forum) that might come up. You know them: "What did I just do?" "I wish I never did this" "I'm so sad." "The pain is worse than I thought." This way when feelings and doubt creeps in (or jumps in full force) I can see that it is normal and I can get through it. I'll let you know how it works.....or doesn't. Good luck to all my surgery date friends!!!!!!
