Pre-Admission Testing

I got myself all worked up over nothing. Pre-admission testing was a breeze. I'm sitting in the cafeteria at the moment and it just "hit me" this wave of emotions and all I could do was tear up. Let me say...I'm not a crier and when I cry something is going on. I guess I am more scared than what I thought...a couple of nurses asked if I was okay...but I have found myself to be a ball of emotions...yesterday I got the giggles over the littlest things...all day was like that. 

Hang in there and pre op testing usually is.easy.what I dread most.is the IV I had them.stick me 14 times to get it and that sucks they were sticking 2 at a time one nurse on each side it hurt...it took almost an hr to get one started...I have no veins and where im a type diabetic they won't stick my feet...and where you can't.drink the night before my veins really do dry even more...when I went in for a heart stress test they had to get one in my ring finger OUCH!!and that took about 12 tries before.They thought of that...sigh....

PICC line is where it's at!!!

Keep your head and keep going forward. Been in your place. Know how you felt.

Best wishes in the start of this journey

I found myself a bit emotional before surgery too.  I think it's normal.  Good luck on your surgery!
