Hello all,
First, thanks to everyone who has wished me well on my surgery...it means a lot to me.
Next, 24 hours from now, I will be on my way to the hospital for my surgery which is scheduled at 7:45am. I cannot believe it. I have waited along time for this and now it is finally here.
I admit to being very scared. I have never had surgery before and am concerned about the pain afterward. It's the unknown that is freaking me out right now.
My emotions have been running wild this week. I cry because I'm scared, because I think - what if I don't wake up - never see my family again - didn't take the chance to tell them how much I love them...etc. But when I do try to talk to them about that I get to choked up to talk.
I know this surgery is a good thing I am doing for myself and I know it is normal to be afraid. I think about in a week from now I will be home, the pain won't be as intense and I will be happy I went through with the surgery and made it through the tuff times.
OK...enough ramblings...thanks to all of you for your support. I will post my experience when I am POST-OP...keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
Julie
