my surgery
Hi... You are so right... telling you it's normal to be nervous is sorta obvious!! I do know what you mean. Getting our heads out of worry and into greater peace is what we all want... I know for me, I have looked for that in the food. This surgery is such a great opportunity to have an effective tool to combat that drive. For me, I want to go to God with my search for peace and calmness. Food has worked, but it brings bad things along with it... it has been a cheap imitation of peace.
I am using this method: http://www.healfaster.com/ to help me. My sister is a nurse and she has been trained by the author, Peggy Huddleston, to do this with people.... So, she and I sat down and figured out lots of positive ways to keep my mind focused on healthy and uplifting things. I sit and relax to this visualization "tape" twice a day and it is really making a difference.
Melissa... I will pray that you find greater peace of mind and that your body and soul heal in the palm of God's hand. We are both trying to live in ways that will bring us healthier, longer lives. May it be so.
Blessings....
Wendy
My date is the 17th as well. I try not to think about the million and one thoughts that would cause me to be nervous about surgery. I think of all of the positives that will come from this. #1 Better Health!! WE will be just fine!!! I look forward to swapping tales with you as we lose. God's blessings to you on the Big Day!
