oy. the nerves!

WOW. i am all of a sudden a nervous wreck. lol i had the WORST dream last night! Teri, i think i'm following in your footsteps? I dreamt that I saw a bus falling off the newport bridge, because it all of a sudden became a drawbridge? wth? LOL can you say, "stressed out?" I'm leaving Jamestown tomorrow to go "move into" my parents house on the Cape and get myself all set up for when I come home from the hospital. I can't wait. This is like, the last step towards surgery for me. Well, second to last.. that Fleet Phospho crap is the last step. LOL I'm so happy that my mom can take care of me after this. I know I couldn't come back to living with Jay.. there's just too much to handle here. Not to mention it's a much, much needed break. And they have a hot tub. lol woohooo. my back has been freaking out all weekend [i carry my stress in my shoulders and lower back.. ugh]. ok. enough blabbering. i'll chat you ladies [and Al] up later! xoxoxo kristen

Hi Kristen: It's to be expected (nerves)...but I think you'll settle down when you get to your mom's house. Maybe you'll feel more secure there, with this upcoming event. You're just the calmest person,...so I always thought..lol. Perhaps you're good at covering the nerves, cause I thought you were cool as a cucumber. Maybe it's that Fleet thing giving you the heebie jeebies....I know I'm still a ways away from surgery and I'm just sooooooooooooooo not looking forward to that! It's gonna be OK. Take a soak in the hot tub and relax a bit. I'll see you real soon......the waiting is almost over. Then your recovery and new life will begin...YAY! {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}} Shel

Hi Kristen, I wish you alot of luck. My prayers will be with you. I can't wait till May 26 to have mine. Let us know how you make out. Claudia

ooooooooooooy veeeeee lol...believe it or not...i'm calm....i don't know why but i am.... Kris...can I come with you to your moms? lol...I need a break from my house...well I guess i'll have that in the hospital.....but a hot tub....oh that sounds so nice...... Easter was nice...we all went to the casino for the buffet...i didn't eat much, but the bathroom was very close thank god...I think the nerves come when i eat... Kris i'll see you on the losing side... Shel.....what can i say.....your the bestest!!! Love ya bunches! Ter

Hay ya girly!!! I'm thinking if you keep mentioning the cape and hot tubs and your gonna find ya self with a hug group of nutty ladies on ya doorstep.. lol Not that this is a bad thing.. lol I just wanted to try and reassure you're some here but letting ya know I know everyone's different but when my sister-in-law had her surgery last February, the day she was released she was at my house! She climbed two flights of stairs (crazy I know but her brother, my hubby had just had his aortic heart valve replaced and she wanted to see him). She looked wonderful! Like you'd never know she had surgery days before. She is a recovering addict (8 years clean) so she takes as little meds as possible. All she was taking was Tylenol for pain. She did say she had a few days that were a bit rougher for her but overall she was up and about pretty quickly. Her main thing was she was tired alot but that's to be expected. I know your having extra work done under ya hood but I hope this comforts you just a little bit. Good Luck and we'll all be here rooting for you and waiting to hear from you !!!!!!!! Big Big Hugs!!!

Hi Kristen, I think I may know how you feel......I was driving with my freind today and all of a sudden it dawned on me that I will be in the hospital one month from today!!! Then I thought, will I be in the operating room, or will I be done and in recovery.....This all transpired about 2:30pm this afternoon. I felt a pit in my stomach when I realized it will be happening in one month. Then I remembered the message boards and thought......hey this is the start of a new slim life for me,(hopefully without too many pitfalls from my new pouch. I can only imagine how I will be when I have only a few days to go. Plus I am having a colonscopy on the May 11, which means I will be drinking that wonderful stuff twice in May...ughhhhhhh
