I've been keeping busy too. I've washed the clothes, folded all of them. Next is grocery shopping. I'm anemic too. Been taking vitamins. You have a lot going on. How are you sleeping? I'm having a hard time in that department.

Hi, Mine is Friday morning. Try not to stress yourself out. Try to focus on how much better you will feel after. I'm a little worried too, so tired of bleeding and wearing pads that I'm more afraid of not having surgery. Just think this time next week it will be over and done. You will be fine, think positive thoughts and know that you are not alone, we are all feeling the same things you are.

My surgery is Wednesday also. Take a few deep breaths and keep in mind all of the reasons that have led you up to this day. I find that if I remind myself of the nightmare that has been the past fifteen years of my life and the thought of a future without pain and constant vomiting, bleeding, hair loss, and ER trips, that it sets my mind at ease. It almost makes me want to sprint into the OR. My heart goes out to you and I wish you the best of luck with both your surgery and recovery.

Hi good luck for Friday! I think with me everything is tumbling! Trying to sort everything with an end date to do it by!! Cared for mum with dementia after my dad died of Alzheimer's, and she has now gone into a home so am frantically sorting her house out, trying to ready my own, get ready for op etc etc!! Typical woman really as aren't we all doing the same!!

I'm having same op as you on Wednesday too. I feel a bit anxious, but having had pelvic floor surgery 3 years ago, I know that you are completely unaware of anything till they wake you up, and after that, modern pain relief is really good. I think it's natural to be nervous though x

stairs? having surgery wednesday morning! :))))
Does anyone else have stairs to navigate after surgery?? I live on the second floor, walk-up apartment. If i go slowly, would it be ok? Feeling a little scared but also very excited to finally have an end to pain, and not being able to poop! (Huge fibroids pressing on my intestines for YEARS!) Scared of the unknown..am keeping fingers crossed it will be done robotically...but my doc isn't sure til he gets "in there" if I may need a full abdominal incision because there are so many issues.....lymph nodes may have to come out too, 2 hernias, cysts on both ovaries....ugh. very excited to get it all OUT of me. There isnt room for all this stuff inside....i am only 115 pounds and small. This stuff is soooo uncomfortable as we all know!!!
