Nervous, scared, worried and excited all at the same time...

Hi all, My surgery is Jan 12th @ 7:30am. I am so nervous, scared, worried and excited all in one. I'm making myself sick. I know this is what I want to have done, but I'm so afraid something will happen to me. Is this crazy or what? I quit smoking 12/28/03, and had a few cigarettes on 1/3/04...what am I doing to myself? My goal was to quit smoking altogether so I won't have complications after surgery. Sorry I'm venting here, but I don't know what else to do! Does anyone have any advice, words of consolation and/or encouragement to help me settle my nerves so I won't smoke another @#&@# cigarette again??? Wheww...I need to take a breath...lol.

IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE ALL THESE FEELINGS, I AM HAVING SURGERY THE SAME DAY WITH DR. MARTIN, I SMOKE TO SO YOUR NOT BY YOURSELF. JUST THINK WE WILL SOON BE ON THE LOSING SIDE, MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND A GOOD ROAD AHEAD. LINDA SMITH
