Does every one get so darn emotional?

For the last couple days, all anyone has to do is look at me and I want to cry...has this happened to anyone else right before surgery...? Surgery is next Monday the 16th...Really not nervous...just anxious... Amy

Ya silly dork dont you remember me doing that right b4 my surgery???

I'm thinking really hard now. Hmmmmm I can't remember a time when you WEREN'T emotional. I don't think that surgery has anything to do with it. Afterall, Dr. Tom is only going to rearrange your intestines a bit. Your anniversary is coming up. Marlee's birthday is next week (I know that is the real reason you are emotional). Mom and Dad's anniversary is coming up. Jane and Rick's anniversary is this month. Oh Yeah...surgery is MONDAY. Duh!!! Of course you are emotional. You are also a bit crazy. I would say that if you weren't emotional...something seriously would be wrong.

you all crack me up!! I wonder how many people here realize you guys are family?? Amy, it's not unusual to be emotional right before surgery..this is a huge step to take. Anxiety can do all kinds of crazy things to us. As time draws near I get more and more anxious about my plastic surgery. ..I dread the pain, I dread the down time. I am not a good sleeper but lately it's even worse. I am gonna go crazy recuperating here at home, talk about bored out of my mind..I work a full time jobs and am working on another one..plus the volunteer work I do. so hang in there, it's just around the corner. you are going to do great and I promise once you are healing, feeling stronger and up and about again. You will never be sorry you did this. Right Jane and Sarah? and just think, you will have Dr. Tom all to yourself for a few days..can you think of anyone elses pretty blue eyes you would rather have starring at ya when ya wake up?..lol See ya next week.. Brenda

You have a lot on your plate but I agree with Mimi. Duh. Just sit back stay busy have a plan and we will be shopping at St. Vincent Depaul before you know it. 10 bucks and I can get you a winter wardrobe with shoes. Oh yea I forgot about Boots, you need 10.50 but tell you what. Me and mimi will spring for this shopping spree. You'll be fine. Love Ya Jane

Ok...I will hold you to that Jane...lol...I know I will be fine....just wish my bladder wasn't attached to my tear ducts right now....I am really excited.... Love Ya AMy

I get emotional all the time! I didn't need surgery to help me become a basket case! I was emotional the 2 days before surgery, because I realized that this was the 11th hour and if I wanted something to eat, a last craving, it was too late to get it in. It was the day after I got home from the hospital, I realized that I was done with food. The television station kept showing advertisments from Wendys, selling those sandwiches they now offer; I wanted one soooo bad! I could taste the damn thing on my lips. This is going to sound crazy, but I actually mourned not being able to eat. I cried all day at the fact I can't just go, buy, and eat. I thought I had resolved some of those issues about food, but it really doesn't sink in until you just, well, can't. (eat) Look at how fantastically well your family is doing. Sarah and Jane are doing so wonderfully with this proceedure/tool. And it sounds as though you have a lot going on in your faimly right now, which if you're like me, can always cause me to be emotional. Hang in there and just when you start to feel that way, ask yourself why you feel that way. Analize your feelings with the why, like a layered onion. When you get an answer to the why, ask the why to the answer; until you get to the heart of the matter. Good luck Amy--I'll be thinking of you on your day and send some prayers your way. Dee

Thank You...i guess I just forgot about the "right before" with Saran and Jane...i am really not afraid...just ready to do it...and yes, I am very fortunate to have the family support that I have, and to be able to see what they have gone thru first hand...Life begins on Monday... Amy

Dee, I think that is pretty normal... I did the same thing... then I realised i lost 18lbs the first 2 weeks... food didnt bother me after that and it doesnt now. I have no regrets with this surgery... had I done it sooner, I wouldnt have had my amazing doc that I have... My only problem now is that im so damned impatient....I want plastics and everything right now lol

P.S. I just realized that my dear hubby didn't log out of his account on my 'puter, until I went back to proof read my post. Amy I hope that I didn't confuse you just now...LoL It's just when I saw his face to my post, *I* got confused!! The above post is from me, dee!
