Surgery Date 7 Dec 07 - Really fast

I guess I am scared. I have multiple health problems besides the obvious. I made the mistake and went into the obituary's and even though I didn't know those people my heart went out to them. Now I keep thinking that I won't make it after surgery. Is this normal? Does anyone else feel this way? I applied to have this surgery done in May 07 and saw the doctor in October and then found out I can have it done on 7 Dec 07. Anybody else have it this fast? I haven't even quit smoking yet. I am sorry I am just venting. :_o

I too read the memorials and felt so bad for everyone. I don't know if it was a good idea reading this before hand or not. I'm thinking about what if I don't make it and it is so close to Christmas. I have to snap out of it and realize more people "make it"than not. You might want to quit smoking to get that out of the way. It's hard, I've been there many years ago but it was worth it! Good Luck and I'm sure you will do just fine! Pray!
