SURGERY DATE 0CT 30TH..HAPPY, SCARED, WEEPY

My "journey" started on aug 31, 2006. Already I have a surgery date. I am so fixated on this surgery. I am worried that I do not have my kitchen stocked properly, getting my house super clean because all of the visits, if I have all the items necessary for the hospital stay. Everyone that knows is completely supportive, but I just can't keep from thinking of the impending surgery. Is this normal? I even wake up during the night thinking of all the things I need to do.

Kay, It was a month after I got my approval until my surgery date. I thought I was going to go crazy! It was all that I thought about. I know exactly what you mean! I had my kitchen restocked and everything ready to go before my date. It is completely normal. This is a very exciting time and you want everything to be just right. I am 5 days post op and now I can't believe that I actually have gone through it! I was happy, scared, and weepy before the surgery and I am still happy, scared and weepy after the surgery, but in a different way. I will be thinking of you on the 30th. You will be fine. Just keep doing what you are doing. Everything will be okay. Hugs, Sherry

Kay, Congrats on your surgery. My date is the 27th, and I'm going through the same things that you are. Good luck with everything. I can't wait to become a loser. Godbless

Hi Kay COngrats on your surgery date...I will be having surgery the same day as you. I know its crazy...thinking of all you got and to make sure you have what you need. I have been making lists and then checking them off when I know I have it. Makes it easier to remember.
