11 days to go and I'm getting nervous....

I didn't think I would be feeling this nervous... wow am I. You go through everything thinking your going to be ready and excited...then the nerves start seeping in..I guess its gotta be normal. I just expected not to be feeling this way 11 days before...Maybe the night before like tomorrows going to be your first day of school, but I feel that way every night... any one else getting nervous???

Lauren, Your feelings are normal....although I know this doesn't help you cope at this moment. LOL. A suggestion: if you like to write, then journal. It is a great way to let those anxieties fly away!!!!!! Just write what you are living at the moment present. This mindful intention will help you cope better. Another trick is deep deep breathing. Inhale counting slowing to five and hold 15 sec. then exhale slowly counting til five until you feel pressure in your thorax. Do that at least 7 to 10 times. What that does is slow your breathing down and relaxes you. Good luck and you'll see everything should go well. brenda b

I am getting nervous too. I am 2 weeks away. I knew you were a few days before me, but I know where you are at. It is just little things for me that are making me nervous. Like being spread eagle on a table/bed for the world to see, silly huh, but that makes me more nervous than the surgery itself. Ahh well it will be worth it.
