Amazing what your hormones and stress can do to you!  I warned my husband pre-op to be patient with me as that emotional roller coaster was "gonna be bad" some days!  I prepared him but he still wasn't ready...neither was I!!!!   It does get better in time!  Just remember to take some time for yourself.....relax..........breathe..........de-stress yourself!   It'll all be worth it!!

Join the club, girl!
I was right there with ya, I have gotten better this last week or so.

Just know that; Yes it is totally normal for everything to be running' on E at this point in the journey.

We have so many emotions to process at this point in time its like we cant process all of them so they just spill over into every aspect of our lives!

It sucks, but thankfully "THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!"

Big hugs Girl

Aww, Sara!  If everybody would just leave you alone for awhile and let you think, I bet you'd feel better.  Unfortunately, kids, husbands, dog, parrot, etc. all need you and what you provide them, which is love and comfort.  Can you imagine your life without them?  Naw, didn't think so!  Take a deep breath, little twin.  You can do this, and without shedding anyone's blood.  I'm proud of you for sticking with the program, and I am excited that you are almost there. 

Take care!

HEAVEN IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU GO TO MEET ALL THE DOGS YOU HAVE LOVED.

Sara, to me that means you are starting to take control of your life, just try to be easier on those around you who aren't used to it!  You do need to be more assertive to be able to get through this, just try and remember there is a difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness.  This too shall pass!!  Keep your chin up, if they truly love you they will know this is a phase and will wait it out.
