MY DATE IS SEPTEMBER 28TH

Hello all, Just want to say how happy I am to have found others that are experiencing this journey in the same month as me. I already have the jitters and have been coming to the board for over 9 months to keep my moral up. I am 54 and raising my Granddaughter age 4. Her Mother passed with cancer when she was 5 months. I need to do this to be healthy enough to raise her and play games and take her to the park and all the fun stuff Parents/Grandparents do with there children. I am concerned about how she will react to me being gone during my hospital stay. I am starting to babble...YES I am nervous!! I am asking myself the what if questions and second guessing my stamina to be strong enough to do this. Is this normal? My husband is being very supportive and assures me I will be fine. SOMEONE please tell me this is just pre op jitters!! LOL Thanks for listening. Cherry Lane

Cherry, Congrats on your journey. And welcome. YES it is just pre op jitters and If you did not have them, then it would be something to worry about. My date is Sept 16 and although I work full time...it is ALL I think about and wonder? What am I doing? Is this the right thing for me? It is totally normal. Be thankful you have a wonderful supportive husband and remember that sweet little granddaughter will benefit greatly from this short hospital stay and recovery period. Girl..you got GUTS and lots of strength to do what YOU have ALREADY done. Take care and thanks for sharing. jacqueline
