cris20495 18 Posted June 25, 2019 I’m scheduled to undergo surgery today at 10:30. Eek! I’ve been unwisely trolling these boards and now am full of a mix of relief and fear. At the moment the fear is winning out: what if I develop blood clots, what if something goes terribly wrong, blah blah. Sigh. I’m going to try to meditate and let it go. But...well...eek! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akeem 36 Posted June 25, 2019 The surgery was my most fear but after is when the hard mental work comes in. Relax now as much as you can. Head hunger is real. It’s saying goodbye to everything you once knew food wise. But it’s worth it to save your life! You will do great! 1 cris20495 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cris20495 18 Posted June 26, 2019 So far so good. The surgery went well, my surgeon said. I’m still in hospital, possibly heading home today. I’ve been sipping and walking. At the moment my only concern/discomfort is the gas, which is beyond unpleasant and seemingly unmovable! Thanks to you all for your encouragement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted June 26, 2019 Remember the Bible Verse " And this too shall pass!" and it will, about 2-3 days after you wish it would! We Love Ya, Baby and we have all been there! Mine was a little delayed but even I wasn't immune! Mine showed up , and I wanted to cry like a Baby with Colic!👶Whaa waaa,---- Dr Bradley J Needleman😷----What Did You Do To ME?
