Six days and counting.....
As 11/15 approaches I find myself becoming more nervous and anxious about my partial. A month ago when it was scheduled I found myself to be rather nonchalant about it knowing in the end I would be much happier and living a more pain free life. I still believe this to be true but now its around the corner and all these crazy thoughts have started rushing through my mind. Today I received my booklet and pamphlets from HysterSisters. It was perfect timing. It was a comfort reading the informative material knowing I was and am far from being alone. I am looking forward to continuing this chapter in my life with this fabulous website!!!!!!

Re: Six days and counting.....
I am not nervous either, but instead, very anxious to have this done and over with and be on the road to mend. But, alas, I'm positive that as my date grows closer, it will hit me like it has hit you. I'm sure that this is very normal!!!
Best wishes to you!!! Afterwards, you can come back and enlighten all of us that are still counting the days!!!

Re: Six days and counting.....
you guys will do great, you've already found this site, which is an incredible resource for prep & recovery, you should consider yourself armed and ready!
I was incredibly nervous for my hyst.... and it turned out to be quite a larger deal/tumor/ etc. than scans showed & went longer than expected with extra cutting, but my surgeon, hospital and staff were excellent. I have had a lot of set backs, and my recovery is quite slow, (I am 7weeks out and still hurt and swell like a ***) but this site is AMAZING for calming you down and getting you through the scary stuff. Just remember to breathe, rest, and stick up for yourself when in discomfort or have a question! And NEVER be afraid to call the Dr's service over the weekend. (I waited and got myself into trouble) When in doubt, CALL.

Re: Six days and counting.....
Mine is coming up, also, and I am getting anxious. I login here, read a little, then calm down. The more I read, the more I realize that this is major surgery. I will have to force myself post-op to rest and pretend to relax!

Re: Six days and counting.....
I am 53, though, so I don,t have the concerns of a younger woman. I have yet to reach menopause, although I am experiencing all of the awful symptoms of peri-menopause. I am looking forward to a surgically induced menopause!

Re: Six days and counting.....
My emotions are so up and down. Dealing with the preparations for surgery for my self and issues with my son, who has a heart issue, I've been so overwhelmed. Trying to do searches for information about my up coming procedure, is calming me greatly. So much information to gather and know. Preparation of the mind I think is so calming. Thanks so much for your posts as they are helping me.

OMG talk about alot on your plate! Prayers for you and the little guy. It is six-eight week struggle that will be worth it. (At least, that's what hubby keeps saying. Over&over&over.)
