pre surgery anxiety

Hi I finally got my date It's October 14th 2003...only had to wait three weeks after i saw the surgeon and got all my preop clearance before they gave me my date. As the date comes near i find myself getting more anxious. I'm not question what i'm doing or why i'm doing it I'm absolutely positive I want to do this....but I just wanted to ask for suggestions on how to decrease the anxiety i'm feeling. I know its normal the fear of the unknown and how much of a big lifestyle change i'm going to be making coming up. Any suggestions would be greatly appriated. Thanks, Angie

Congratulations on your surgery date. Definitely keep yourself busy, that is what I am doing. Get out of the house, do things that you enjoy, see friends, watch good movies etc. It will help keep your mind occupied and the time will fly by.
