5 days

I'm freaking out!!! I'm on edge! I feel like have have PMS and I was finished last week. I have pushed the death thoughts out of my head, for the most part. I pray everyday that God is with me and my surgeon and guides me back to my son. My ? is....Is it normal to be this grouchy before surgery? I am snapping at the drop of a hat. Michelle

Now it is only 4 more days!!! I think it is noraml to be a little on edge, grouchy before hand......I am sure you have a million things running through your head! I think it is a great idea to be praying, heck I will even pray for ya too!!! I can't wait to hear you are on the losing side and doing fine!!! Hang tough only a couple more days Jesi

Hang in there Michelle! The count down is on and it will be here before ya know it!!! Your in my thoughts and prayers! Hugs, Janet S

Michelle, Grumpy is an understatement for what I was feeling! I spent so much time making a grocery list, shopping to be sure that I had food to eat after surgery (hah - didn't need most of what I bought), planning easy meals and then shopping for the family, cooking ahead of time for the family, cleaning, doing laundry, and of course being on this site. Yep - I was grumpy and snapped at everyone. Thank God my hubby was very understanding! He let me have time to take care of those things and even to have a few hot bubble baths. The next few days will be a whirlwind of emotions. Hang in there, know that we are here for you for support and in prayer! God bless, Andrea P.S. The bathtub is a great way to monitor loss without a scale! See how you fit now and then take some baths a few weeks after surgery, etc. and watch how the water is able to make it by you more freely and how much more comfortable the bathtub is. I love my baths now!!!

Hi Michelle, I am scheduled on the 16th and I am definately not myself these days. I find that I am snapping at my family a little more as well. I am feeling a bit scatter brained, have been since I got a date. I am finding it hard to focus and a lot of people are asking me questions and different people are asking me the same questions and I feel like I am repeating myself alot. It is just really hard making sure that everything is in order for me to have this surgery. The normal mundane things that I take care of on a regular basis seem to be more difficult these days. I am thinkin that it is the nervousness or excitement. So I don't think that these feeling you are having are uncommon---if they are just know that I am in this boat right along beside you. Sherri
