well .. surgery is one week and one day away (June 18) ... I wish I would have found this site earlier ... I didn't think I'd be freaking out as much as I am ... is that normal?

I don't know if it is normal, but my surgury is June 24, and I am getting very nervous about it. I plan to work on cleaning my house, so I can come home to a clean house after surgury. Maybe you should rent some comedy videos to make you laugh. It might help to relax you. You want to have a good attitude going into surgury, I think. Take care.

My date is June 18 as well. My nerves didn't hit me til today. I have been 100% fine, my husband has been the nervous one, but today after I talked to the nurse about my final approval from the ins. I'm starting to get nervous. I think it's the reality of it. I'm also planning on cleaning my house. I think that will realize some tention. and spend plenty of time with my family.

Yeah, I freaked out a little, too, and cleaned my house. I guess that's one good side effect of the surgery, huh. Keep a positive attitude, folks. This is do-able, and you will feel better on the other side. Hang strong. Marty (2 days post op and home at last!)

I think for most of us it happens at some point as the reality hits us that it really is happening to us. I'm home now one week post op already feeling better than I did pre-op even though I still have some pain. It's just so much easier to just breathe. I found this site many months ago but I still freaked big time. I had to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and move forward knowing I could change my mind at any time until I was asleep in the operating room. Patricia

My date is June 16th, and although I am not freakin out - I am a bit nervous -- even went ahead and wrote a will, although when I tried to discuss it with my husband, he wanted no part of that discussion! Got my pre-op testing done this week, and have four days to go! I'm not going to clean the house - It will only get doubly wrecked by my husband and kids while I'm at the hospital. Instead, I'll give strong hints about letting them clean so I come home to a neat, clean house that I won't feel obligated to "strain myself" right after surgery, LOL -- guilt does work, right?
