Pre-op today

[quote=70sChick]Selvon, I am on Dec. 5th too! Yup I am right there with the rest of you lovely ladies with the emotional ride and wanting in a way to get it done already-since it must be done. Its wearing. Been feeling alittle low-I look calm except I get real pounding fear for alittle while every few days.

Great! You and all the others who are on the 5th will be in my thoughts. I had pre-op today and while I think I handled it pretty well, I went back to work for a few hours and then came home and went straight to sleep--was feeling a little down. But, as you rightly said, there's a reason for this--life cannot go on as usual without quality. Some days I can truly 'face the fear' and other days is chases me under the covers.

YOu will be in my prayers on Dec 5th. I can understand why you are feeling down, and scared. We are having some very close friends over tomorrow for thanksgiving, and to be honest I have no idea how I am going to get through the day. I just feel like relaxing at home and crying, not entertaining. I love them dearly, and they are 2 of our closest friends, but I just don't know if I can go the whole day celebrating a holiday when inside I feel like I am falling apart. My surgery is not until Dec 16th, and I was all set to go forward with everything until I started reading all of the posts here and on other groups. My doc told me that a complete hyst was the end all to my endometriosis, and that whatever was left would just dry up and die. Now I hear this is not the case. I was told that the HRT was safe and nothing to worry about because it's just the same stuff my body naturally produces, now I hear people saying it's harmful. I am now a wreck and second guessing everything. I am so glad that I joined here, as now I feel I am much more informed than when I left the doctor office. But emotionally I have no idea what to do
