I have another surgery scheduled.

I'm sending good, healthy thoughts to you. It's totally normal to be nervous about surgery. I wish you an uncomplicated, comfortable recovery.

(((Hugs)))

Three is better than four, right? You’ve got this, just take one day at a time and you’ll get through it. 

I understand your nervousness. Needing surgeries are always anxiety filled.  But the surgery and you will be fine. 

Surgery is always daunting. It'll be over in no time and you'll feel better. You got this.

good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

(( hugs ))---I totalllllly understand you being nervous !!! I've had so many people ask me why surgery is "such a big deal" and /or "you SHOULDN'T be nervous!" ...ummm.....because....for me, *any* surgery IS a big deal...!! ( I HATE it when people try to minimize others' feelings!)


Plus, I spare them all the "horror stories" I could tell about the LEGIT reasons of WHY I'm so afraid....but--- in my experience, many 
people don't want to take the time to listen, and say "you'll be fine" and throw other meaningless platitudes and cliches at 'cha....  


I hope it goes well !  

what scrappintoee said!! I feel like we stress our selfs out way too much even if we're professionals at this stuff! LOL! I freak out over shots now I've had iv's in my head and my feet since birth lol. I was terrified of two shots in the butt two weeks ago. I think we just worry how are bodies do as we keep dong them. At least for me in that case, so i hope you don't over worry and you have time to relax and all before. HUGS!!! I hope all goes well and keep us posted!

I am sorry you are having to go through this. It is normal to feel nervous. But if it keeps you from getting enough sleep, or keeps you too antsy, you might try some relaxation techniques. Look online find some that appeal to you.

So, here is what I do cause I have had a few surgeries, really more than a few. I think of what handwork I am going to take to the hospital to keep my hands busy - can't stand doinng nothing. I plan meals that I am going to send my husband to get for me. I stock up on points or energy for my laptop games (don't like using the hospital wifi to pay for that stuff and I splurge on that stuff when in the hosptil) And other plans like that. For me a stay in the hospital is like free time and guilt free time to spend however I can. Thinking how I can spoil myself and planning for it helps to keep my mind off the actual reason I am going to be there (the surgery) My family laughs over the laptop games cause the last time I came out of surgery and before I was really "awake" I was seeing my current game in 3D, it wass so cool! (In normal times I limit myself on how long I play my laptop) I know the next time I have to go into the hospital I am taking my diffuser to keep my room smelling good. See, I am already kind of looking forward to another stay CRAZY I know

Anyway, planning for the stay and other minor details can help keep your mind busy and off the scarey stuff. What are you going to do about your hair? What will you pack to wear? Will you want family there? If so arrange visiting times so they don't all come at the same time. How about a nice shopping trip for a pretty robe that you will feel comfortable walking the halls in. (they always wanted me up and walking UGH)

Wishing you all the best.
