Anyone a "wee" bit nervous????

Hi! I am scheduled for surgery Aug. 17th and I am starting to feel a bit anxious. I am assuming this is a normal emotion considering what I am about to do. I was just wondering if anyone was experiencing this feeling as well. I just celebrated my 41st birthday and realized my surgery is one month from this Sat and it just kind of hit me. I remember when I first started this journey thinking "crap, Aug. is so far away" and now it is "holy crap - I only have a month"!!!! Kind of funny. Anyway - just sharing...... Lisa

TIME IS FLYING NOW! I GO IN THE DAY BEFORE YOU, AND I GUESS IT IS 5 WEEKS AWAY NOW. WE WILL ALL HAVE A WHOLE NEW SET OF DISCUSSIONS TO KEEP THE BOARD BUSY AFTER AUGUST, HUH? JACQUE

Lisa, I too am nervous. The date is really coming up fast now. It is all I can think about, worry about, dream about, and talk about. My poor family and friends. I am trying to keep busy with other stuff but it always seems to sneak back in. Lets hang in there together. Christie

Hi Lisa! We would all be if we did not have some form of anxiety! I already told my surgeon they are going to have to give me some "HAPPY JUICE" before they knock me out. It can be overwhelming, but then I just take a deep breath and snap to! Denise

Lisa, Yeah! I'm feeling a bit nervous and the anxiety has set in. Things around my house feel . But today has been a down day My surgery is 2 and 1/2 weeks away and my stomach feels like it is tied in knots.:hair: Good Luck on your surgery!! Cindy

Hi Lisa. I know exactly how you feel. I'm scheduled for surgery on Aug 9th and am going through all kinds of emotions. I think the feelings are very normal from what I've read from those who's had surgery. Good luck!
