Need advice on how to "center " myself before surgery

I've read a lot on this site about fear, but that's really not quite my issue here. I have an open RNY on 12/01/00, and as if that in and of itself wasn't stressful enough, it seems like my life has taken this opportunity to become even more stressful. My beloved dog died unexpectedly, my mother has had a few health crises, my psychotic ex-husband has a parole hearing in two days and may very well get out of prison, the nut job next door to where I work has decided he hates my dual exhaust muscle car and has been making physical threats to my co-workers about me, new boss at work, relationship troubles, alternator fell off of my car today, sinus infection this close to surgery, stress stress stress!!!! Believe it or not, this is the short list; there's even more going on that I'm not even going into. Here's the thing I need help with: I have a lot of preparation that I need to be doing to get ready for this surgery, and I can't even accomplish my day to day tasks because my mind is scattered in all directions, and for the life of me I can't seem to focus. I'm not feeling sorry for myself or anything like that, I know there are a lot of people with worse worries than I have now, I just would like to know if anyone has any advice on how to get myself centered, you know, focused, pulled together, so I can get some of the things accomplished that I need to. My energies are so scattered!!! Thanks in advance for the help! AMOS rocks!
