How do I remain calm?

I am 17 days away from my surgery. I cleaned my house today in preparation (it will need a touch up soon though). I cleared my self a bit of counter space and will by some shelves this weekend so I can keep all my food and protein supplies seperate from the other food (Ie, the junk my husband eats...out of sight, out of mind). I plan to pack my bag this weekend for the hospital (after buying new underware). But I'm getting nervous. Not eating, not sleeping, not able to focus on anything but this surgery. I am postive that this is a good thing for me too do and not worried about my choice...just stupid things...like will I get to the hosptial on time? Will my mom be ok to watch my son for a day? Will my husband leave the toliet seat up and my mother fall in? Yeah, it sounds silly but its got me worried. I am trying to breathe, trying to distract myself but I can't. I don't want to watch tv because I hate tv, going outside with my son is fun but it allows my mind time to think about surgery...I can't focus enough to read or study or to do my homework. I try to force myself...I've got my last midterm tomorrow for my hardest class and I just can't get it together enough to study...or to even care whether I pass or fail.
