 |  Surgery Tomorrow!!!
 HI, EVERYONE!!!SO, MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR IN THE MORNING AT 6:30 A.M., AND I SWEAR I AM A CRYING MESS!! I KEEP WANTING TO CALL AND CANCEL!!! I AM SHAKING, AND FEEL SCARED. I EVEN HAVE MY HUSBAND WORRIED. I KNOW THAT ALOT OF IT IS BECAUSE I HAVE 4 SMALL KIDS, BUT WAS ANY OF YOU THIS SCARED? MY DOCTOR SEEMS VERY NICE, AND WORKS OUT OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. HIS NAME IS DR. JOESPH VITELLO. I AM SCARING EVERYONE AROUND ME, BUT MY MOM KEEPS TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN, BUT I CAN'T. IT IS LIKE MY EMOTIONS ARE FLOWING, AND THERE IS NO TURNING THEM OFF. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SORRY, I AM JUST TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET MY NERVES CALMED DOWN.

It is a scary thing to do but remember WHY you are doing it. Its for you and your kids and your family.
Say a mantra to yourself, deep breathe, go for a walk or do something that you know will keep your mind nice and clear.
Heres to a quick and routine surgery and recovery!!
*HUGS*

Oh Yes!!!!!!!
My Last Thread Right Before I Went In Shows What A Mess I Was!!!!!!!
I Too Have 4 Young Kids & Never Had Any Type Of Surgery Before.. The Thing That I Think Made It Worse For Me Is That I Observed The Procedure In Nursing School, So I Knew Everything That Was Going To Happen To Me!!!
Everytime I Saw Someone Coming To By Cubicle I Knew The Time Was Getting Near, So I Got More Upset..
Let Them Know Asap About Your Nerves & As Soon As They Get You To Sign The Ok, They Can Give You Something......
This Is Huge, No Doubt About It, But It Is For The Health & Happiness Of Your Life!!!
Here's To An Uuncomplicated Surgery & Recovery.
I'll Save Your Space On The Losers Bench!!!
Let Us Know How Your Doing As Soon As Your Up To It!!
Thoughts & Prayers Are With You!!!
Lol,

I think we have all had some fear just before going in - I had to keep breathing and telling myself that God is working in the hands of the surgeon and annesthesia. I had a fear of not waking up - just hang in there and show up! The loosers bench is waiting!

I totally had a melt down day before the surgery...I mean my thoughts of the whole ordeal was worse than the awful thoughts I had with post partum depression. But before I knew it I was on the losers bench...I am so glad I did and so were my little four sons!!! Godspeed and my thoughts are with u for a text book surgery and recovery. BTW Im about an hour north of you so if ur ever up in the Great Lakes area maybe we can get together for a protein drink since coffee is out for us
