Surgery on Monday
I have surgery this upcoming Monday. I still don't know what time I'm going to be going in the OR at, and I won't know until Sunday afternoon. I have had the past 4 weeks to come to terms with the fact that my surgery is happening a month ahead of time. When I first found out that my new date was the 29th, it was March 1st. I had been asked if I wanted to trade dates with another patient. I had said yes, and then after I got off the phone and stuff.... I started to have 2nd thoughts and just wanted to call back to my surgeon's office and cancel altogether. I was a basket case. Then after several phone calls with my dad (he lives about 12 hours from me) giving me little pep talks every time we talked, I was feeling a lot better about things. Now.... as I'm laying here on my bed with only 3 days to go until my BIG "open"ing, I'm starting to get scared all over again. I'm worrying about the same things I was at the beginning of the month that I am now. It's frustrating to say the least. I haven't been sleeping well the past couple weeks either and I'm starting to feel run down. It's so not fun.
I've been waiting for this day to come since November 29, 2006 and now that it's almost here, I wish that I could just chicken out and not go.
*hugs*

You could chicken out but then where would you be back to the beginning again and wishing you hadn't. Doubts are a normal feeling especially with something so life changing.
Any kind of surgery has a big scare factor. Try and think of the outcome.
Monday will be here before you know it and then it will be Tuesday and the beginning of the next phase of you life.
I haven't even been approved yet having just started my journey with the weight wise clinic and I am worried about the surgery etc.
By Monday you will have had second thoughts, third thoughts and lots more. I am sure this is normal.
Good luck on Monday and keep us posted as to how everything goes.

I called my dad this morning (like about an hour ago), and told him that I was nervous again, and again he gave me one of his little pep talks. I think it helped. I'm sure I'll be a basket case again tomorrow afternoon when I get my actual surgery time! Eeeek! I just have to remember what my dad said to me in a different conversation, which is exactly advice that I gave to someone else...... By having this surgery, I'm prolonging my life. By not having it....... Yeah.
Ok, so now here I sit with a goofy looking number 2 on my Facebook profile reminding me that I have 2 days to go, still need to finish packing, still need to get the upstairs cleaned (hubby said he'd do downstairs after he gets off work at 5), have to shave my legs (lol as if you all really needed to know that), spend a lot of quality time with Miss Mew (the cat lol), maybe play some Wii, and try to chill out and relax. *sigh*
And thank you all for your kind words. I will try to coherently (yeah right lol) update you all sometime Monday. Hopefully I can get on this site from my phone. lol
