GOT MY DATE
Best of luck to you Erin. I know you must be so excited. I go in on the 10th for my pre-op and surgery is on the 15th. I'm excited...but I WILL be nervous and scared as the time draws nearer. It's totally natural.
I have so many things to do and organize before then that I hope that keeps my mind busy...and not so but...we'll see.
I'm so happy for you and wish you all the best. I hope your fears and anxieties wont be so bad.
Thank you! Good Luck to you as well! I have to say that I went to support group the other night.....and we were talking about how the surgeon, the day of your surgery, while you are laying on the O.R. table will come in and ask if you are really sure that you want to go through with this. He says he can stop everything right now. My whole fear is chickening out at that time. So I was talking to them about that and I was told well thats ok if that happens, that you arn't ready yet and thats ok. Honestly it was right then and there that i knew i was going to make it and i was going to be fine! I am in a much better place now because i do know that i am ready. Lol i have lots of stuff to do before surgery as well. I figure that since my surgery is october 10th, that i am going to want to do all of the fall cleaning before get all of the summer stuff away so that i don't have to worry about doing it after when i'm not feeling so well. But i am not sure how fun that is lol. But it will keep me nice and busy! Any way keep in touch
Whooo.. you're going through the same emotions I am! Try to do what I've been doing to myself, focus on all the fun things you'll be able to do when you've been freed from your prison! (At least that's how I'm seeing it.. heh.. hey! lemme out.. I've done my time!)
Congratulations! My date is October 3.
