Anyone else getting nervous?

It must be normal because I am very nervous, I have through of everything that could possible go wrong with the surgery and get really nervous and scared. Then I start thinking about the positive things but not for long, my surgery is 11/3 and I am sooooooooooooo scared.

Hello everyone! I am having my surgery on November 12th. I just want to post what I do when the fear tries to come in on me. God's word says that He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind ( II Timothy 1:7 ). His perfect love casts out fear, all fear! When I need assurance and peace I go to the scriptures because they are full of life and truth. I hope others can find comfort in God's word as I have found and know that I am praying for all of us for uneventful surgeries and speedy recoveries. We are going to have a brand new life and may all of our dreams be fulfilled! Hugs, Sharla

Hang in there. My date is Nov 4th. I am also feeling nervous and stressed. I am trying to get eveything done at work as well as at home. Hang in there. We will make it.

Nervous isn't even the word for it. I've been biting my nails, a nasty habit I throught I kicked five years ago. On top of it, I'm *****y (well more *****y than usual anyway). I blame it on the operation, it's probably just me being me One minute I'm convinced I'm going to get a blood clot and die in front of my husband and three year old, the next minute I'm euphoric. It's scary. Really scary. The only thing that's helped was talking to the scheduler at BTC. She said no one's died at BTC for at least the three years she's been there. That calmed my nerves a little bit. Then the nervousness kicked back up and I thought "Well maybe they're due then". Argh. Hot baths help tremendously. Hot bubblebaths with lots of candles.

I only have six days to go before my surgery. I have been on an emotional roller-coaster for about a week. I got to where I found myself crying everyday about I don't know what. I had a few fears and talked to my husband (angel) about them and ever since than I have not cried once. It may help if you talk to someone close to you about all the things you feel. Now I'm am running around trying to get things in order before Tuesday!!!! Good luck, I'm sure all will be good!! Carolyn

Yes!! and then.....YES!! I laughed out loud about the *****y remark...that is so true! I find myself running the gamut of emotions as well, and any little thing is just setting me off. My poor husband is beside himself. I am just so ready....3 days and a wake-up!! Keep your faith and wits about you.
