Jitters

I am so glad you posted your comment.  I am exactly one month and one day away from surgery and my hospital too only meets once a month.  I too have major jitters and found myself on line last night reading everything I could find from people with bad experiences for some stupid reason.  There are so many people with positive stories out there and I have read many of them, but with the countdown so close I find myself trying to find the "ick" stories.  Don't ask me why because I have clue.  Anyway, maybe we can figure this out.  I am really so excited, but more nervous probably than I have been about anything else.  Let me know how you are doing as these days go by.  WE CAN DO THIS!!

 Thanks for responding!  Still jittered a little.  Sorry I didn't get back for a bit.  Was out of town and out of touch.  Some would say I'm usually out of touch!  We must be having our surgery nearly the same time.  I'm going on the 8th of April.  I don't know WHY I can't seem to focus on all the good posts!  But you're right...we can do this!  The only sure road to failure is to not try in the first place.  I figure the odds of success will be better if I keep focused.  CONFIDENCE!!!  I'm excited too.  Kind of weird combination of feelings.  We'll have to keep tabs on one another.

For me the fear keep me grounded and focused. I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop, and with that fear I make sure I do what I need to do to remain successful.

One thing you will need to know, you won't be 100% focused (good) all of the time. But as long as you hit 85% to 90% you will be successful !!

Know we're here if you need us !! And good luck - I have a seat ready for you on our loser's bench in the winner's circle.

 Thanks, Tom.  I really need all the good advice I can get.  But then, who doesn't?  Sorry I didn't get back for a while.  
Been out of town.  Polish up that bench...I plan to be there in a couple weeks!
