I'm a wreck

I'm getting the house ready for my 2 night hospital stay and the phone rings!!! it's the hopstital
I should report monday at 6:30 AM.

I'm nervous not sure why but my stomach is one huge knot and my hands are shaking
I know everything should be ok I have a great surgeon and everyone I know that went St Clare's had great things to say about the hospital but I'm still scare

Please keep on your prayers as I rejoin the loosers bench on monday

Dear Adperez,

You'll be fine. IMHO You have one of the best surgeons (he did mine). Saint Clare's is also a very good Hospital, and they have a great staff.

Feel free to send me a PM - and I will be more then willing to give you any encouragement and/or "hold you hand" until the operation. Also, reach out if you have any questions !

Good luck - and my prayers are with ya !!

I'd be worried about you if you weren't a bit nervous.  I think it's the finality of that call.  You KNOW it's happening now. :)  You'll be in great hands and you'll do great.  We'll be thrilled to welcome you to the bench on Monday!  You'll be in my prayers for a calm weekend.  It's almost here!!!

Hi Cindi,

You look great!  Keep up the good work!!!  Hope all is well!!

Hi,

I will be in my praires on Monday.  Don't worry you will be fine.  Just keep yourself busy this weekend so you won't have to think about it, easy said then done LOL.  I will save a spot for you over on the loser's bench.

I had Dr. Bertha, Dr. Adkin's partner and both of them (as well as Dr. Garrison who is with them now) have a wonderful reputation.  They are all great surgeons.  I was surprised I liked St. Clare's as much as I did.  My stay there was much better than my stays at Morristown.  Good luck to you.

Best of Luck to you.  Trust in God and He will bring you through along with everyone in this forum.  Michele

Today was suppose to be the day !! Thoughts and prayers are with you !! Let us know how it all turned out !!

Good luck!  ALS is wonderful!!!!!!!!!

I had Dr. Abkin and my surgery at St. Clare's. Dr. Abkin is wonderful and the staff at St. Clare's is amazing! You will be okay. I was nervous also..its natural...but don't worry...you are in good hands!!!
