Hi All!
Well, this has gone by fast, too fast! My surgery is this Weds (Aug. 31st). I am trying to get all loose ends at work tied up, get my children ready for school tomorrow and make sure my house is clean!
I am making myself crazy with worry! I have been good up till now, but I have managed to imagine every possible scenario. I am tired of smiling and acting "normal" when all I want to do is go hide in my closet!! I know I am ok, with whatever happens, but still....
I want to get this done and move on. I feel like it has dominated my life for so long (it has only been since June, I tend to be overly dramatic!)
I still don't know exactly what time my surgery is, the hospital will call sometime tomorrow. All I keep thinking is I can't eat or drink after midnight, what if I am scheduled at 3:00pm! I will be a raging lunatic with no food or caffeine!!!! My daughter suggested I eat at 11:30, so I have enough in my body to get me through!!!
Thanks for letting me vent awhile, it is hard to hide emotions all the time!!!
Take care!!!

Hi Julie,
I noticed in another post that you wrote that your surgery is this week.
Hi Calley,
Found out today my surgery is set for 8:30 tomorrow morning. have to be there at 7:00. I am always up early for work anyway, but had to make arrangements to get my son to school. It was a difficult day at work, so I am worn out! Can't eat anymore tonight, but I can drink til midnight. I love popsicles, so I am allowed that at least!
I am just glad to get it done. I have been jittery and emotional all day and am kinda shakey right now. Wish my Mom could be here! But, I have good friends and great kids that will be with me. My daughter's boyfriend even drove up to be here!
I will be back when I can. I usually do ok after surgery, except with pain meds, they tend to make me nauseated. But, I hope to rebound quickly. My problem is listening to my body and resting when I should.
Anyway, I am going to go watch tv with my kids and try to fall asleep. Thank you for your good thoughts!!
Julie
