17 days and counting!

My surgery date is August 22nd at 7:00 a.m. in Columbus, Ohio. I am excited, nervous, anxious, you name it! What did any of the post-ops do to keep themselves busy and their minds off surgery until the big day? Also, anyone have any family members who were not real "supportive" of the surgery? My mother and I are very clsoe but she is very nervous about the surgery and will not talk with me about it. She is afraid I will die under the knife. We lost my brother to liver cancer 3 years ago and she says she cannot bear to lose another child. I am NOT going anywhere!!!!

Missy, I know how you feel I go on 8/18 and agree with your feeling exactly. My prayers for a speedy recovery.

Missy Good Luck in your surgery! I am having the op on the 26th August just a few days after yours. I wish you well and you sound so strong and determined, you are an inspiration! Take care Amanda xx
