Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
(((Hugs)))
Completely normal to be nervous. I was a basket case the week before and really a mess the day of my surgery. The waiting is the hardest part.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. Yes, there are ups & downs in recovery. Try not to compare your recovery to others as we all heal at our own pace and each of us has our own pain threshold.
I'll be 5 weeks post op tomorrow and I don't feel like I had surgery at all. I might have a twinge of pain once in a while if I move a certain way, but it feels more like a bruise. The freedom from bleeding and being stressed out is absolutely priceless.

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
I know what you mean. My surgery is two weeks from today, July 11th and I'm pretty nervous myself. I would love to have me a dose of "happy juice" about now. Praying all goes well for you and you and you have an easy speedy recovery. God bless!

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
All of the nerves and fears are normal. This is MAJOR SURGERY and a VERY BIG DEAL! Of course you are nervous. We understand what you are going though, and we will be here by your side the whole time. Your emotions may intensify as your surgery date approaches. This is normal, too.
Distractions are very good and can help take your mind off this. Maybe get some meals in the freezer that you can pop in the microwave when your are recovering.
You are almost there. Just a few more days.

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
I had a LAVH on 6/6. I am so happy I did and I wish I'd done it sooner. I was a wreck before surgery, I swore I wouldn't make it through. I did exceptionally well, in spite of myself, and so will you. Yes, it is major surgery. But you are doing it for a reason that you can no longer live with, whatever that reason is. I know it is hard to focus on right now, but you will feel so much better after. Please know that we are all here to support you and I wish you nothing but peace as you wait and I will be praying for you on the your day! God bless!

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
I didnt sleep for two nights prior to my surgery. I am sleeping much better now. Anxiety is normal before any surgery. I think you should try to do what you can to relax. Talk it out with someone...take a bath because it will be a while before you can soak again, breathing exercises, reading helped me. I read what I could about the procedure...but be careful....if you think it will make you more anxious...avoid it and watch a good comedy. I will be praying for you. If you are nervous...please allow yourself to feel that. Its your body and you are entitled feeling what you feel.

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
I have been having trouble sleeping for a couple of weeks now. And I am noticing that my nerves are getting totally frazeled. I am now starting to clean at work as well as home. I think my employees are starting to think I have gone nuts. But I figure if I just keep cleaning and being nice, then it will all be good.

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
I was really nervous up until my pre-op appointment, and a few hours after it. The next day, I was OK and I was fine until surgery. It's normal to be nervous. Try to focus on the positive outcome you're hoping for and realize it's something you need to get through to make your life better.

Re: im soooo nervous!! cant sleep
I've even been having dreams about the surgery and afterwards. I'm glad the time is getting close. I've been kind of "nesting" this weekend, but it's good to keep busy and distracted (and I love this site). Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
