I'm having a case of nerves.

I may have told you this but keep an eye on what they give you to eat. Everything they brought me had sugar in it. They even brought me a dinner roll one night. Also get up and walk with in a few hours of waking up. It hurts alot but the more you walk the better you will feel.I think you will have a private room so that is a good thing. Also Linda will come by with a little goodie basket. Kallen

Good advice. All I need is to be pumped up on pain killers and they start feeding me sweets and bread. Talk about starting out wrong, huh? I will actually enjoy a private room if possible. I really don't want to bother anyone else and I might just want to whine a bit. Carol

I'm with you Carol...same boat, same emotions and reactions. I have two other problems to add though. First, I am so edgy right now that my patience has worn thin. Last night I was kind of short with my 2-year old when he wouldn't go to bed...my words were not totally harsh, just a little out-of-line considering the petty situation. Secondly I am feeling so overwhelmed I can't get anything straight or completed at work or home. I'm like a serious scatter-brain right now. I wish you, Marcie and I were in the same hospital I don't know what else to say but best of luck to you in the coming weeks. E-mail me if you want to chat. Danielle

I know how you feel with the scatterbrain thing. I am just glad I don't have too much on my head. My daughters are 16 and18 and they are pretty much taking care of me right now. They have been very supportive. I am a lot older than you (actually twice your age) so it shows that the nervous part comes in all ages. Good luck and see you on the other side. Carol
