Finally...a date!!

Well, after receiving my approval a little over a month ago, I had to wait for Barix to get all my paperwork through benefits verification. I now have a date of Tuesday, December 28th. I am feeling so apprehensive right now, like I could have a panic attack. I know it's normal to feel this way, but I am still sooooooo scared. So far, I've read/heard nothing but positive outcomes from Dr. Kaczmarkski's patients at Barix; however, I feel especially nervous because I am asplenic (no spleen). Please PRAY for me that I have no complications or infections, as they could EASILY be life-threatening for me. I just need some positive thoughts right now...

Hi Christine I know how you feel I am scheduled for surgery the day before Thanksgiving and i have been having bad panic attacks and crying for no reason. This is a big deal and a major surgery we are going to have. And I am told all of these feelings are normal, not to get too much in my head witht hem and they will pass. I will include you in my prayers and feel free to email me anytime if you need to talk. Best of luck on your surgery. Susan

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!! CONGRATS !!!!! On your date !!!!! I know it can be scary but hang in there it will all be behind you before you know it. I will keep you in my prayers for a quick and easy recovery. Laura
