Surgery tomorrow and OMG ... panic setting in

[Kristine73 1]

Ok, I know I made the right decision, but I hate the day before and the morning of surgery .... I wish I could sleep through all of this, LOL!

I'm trying to keep busy, three loads of laundry down, kitchen scrubbed clean, as well as bathroom. I'm thinking of washing the car .... think I'll think more on the last one, LOL!

Maybe I'll play another game of mahjong.

Blah ....

I know the feeling. I felt a little panicy the day before but not too bad. Then right before they took me into the operating room I almost said STOP! But then the wonderful happy drug took over and the next thing I knew I was done! It is the best thing I ever did for myself! Good luck! Oh and if you have more energy you can come to my house today I have a messy kitchen and a bathroom that needs to be cleaned... just trying to help :thumbup:

I felt the same way - but this is the best decision you'll ever make. Just think a/b how you'll feel a year from now!!!

Wow Lisa you look fantastic.

I know what the nerves are like I was the same. What helped me was my nurse - he had a great sense of humour which helped put me at ease.

I had to walk from my ward to the "preop room". The carpet was a weird blue green colour and I joked that it was a bit like doing the green mile.

Maybe I'm crazy but I find laughing (even at myself) helps me to get through things.

Good luck - you will be fine.
