My surgery date is a month away and the closer it gets, the more anxious I feel. I have two year old twins and an 13 yo ds. I am the twins day and night. We are hardly ever separated. (DH is active duty so he isn't home a lot. )I think I can go without picking them up until the okay is given by the doc. I am just worried that I won't feel like taking care of them and cooking for my family. I love to cook and bake for them.
I am having an open procedure. My doc doesn't do lap procedure b/c he takes out your gallbladder too. His complication rate is .01% so I feel comfortable with the surgery. I also have heard nothing but good things about him.
I think I just need to be sure that my family will okay. I have had an emergency c-section, so I guess my pain won't be any worse than that...I recovered quickly with that. (It was no cakewalk for sure) I guess I just need to hear that it will be okay and I still will want to cook after I recover enough do that.
Thanks for reading this. I know that my decision is the best for me and my family, it is just hard now getting prepared.
