The nerves are setting in!

So darn nervous, anxious... scared.. excited! Surgery is Thursday. Time is creeping by so slowly, but at the same time speeding by so quick! Also excited that I will have 6 weeks off of work for recovery. Is it odd that I'm so excited for the time off?? lol. Anyways, how did you pass the last few days before surgery? How to prevent going absolutely mad? One moment i'm packing and getting everything ready for my week in the city, next Im just so overwhelmed that i may forget something. I have laundry to do, a house to clean and a weeks worth of clothes to pack. I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel, not accomplishing anything.

I cleaned my whole house the week before surgery, it helped pass the time. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

Organize your clothes in sizes. As you lose, you can donate the bigger sizes. I'm saving a super comfy spot for you on the loser's bench.

Super excited for you. Keep us posted!

Good luck! It will be time before you know it:) I loved having 6 weeks off work, especially after the first week after surgery when I was feeling all healed up.

That's so exciting!

I spent a lot of time making lists, but I don't recommend it because I drove myself crazy, lol.

Remember, as long as you've got the really important stuff, like your wallet, phone, documentation, etc., anything else can be bought there if you forget it. And if every last bit of housecleaning doesn't get done, don't sweat it. It's not worth the stress (easier said than done, I know!)

Let us know how you're doing after surgery, when you feel well enough to check in. We'll be thinking of you.

PS: You're going to be at St Mike's, right? (hope I'm remembering that correctly!). The wifi is tricky, it won't come up automatically. You have to select "other" and physically type in "SMH_Guest" to connect. No password. (when I was there I thought I just wasn't getting the signal, and spent my 1st night with nothing to distract me. it was awful. time goes by much fast when you've got something to watch)
