Also I don't show my family that I'm terrified I have been keeping it in me but this morning I broke out and cryed, however not in front of them. I really thought I had it together but I've lost all control. I have my pre-op on Monday and can't even think of all the questions I had in mind.

Princess G,

I am right with you. Today seemed to the point where It has hit me REAL hard. And I have been pretty emotional (but keeping it all in), Tomorrow is my pre-op and that has me pretty nervous, one more step of reality hitting hard. DH was supposed to go away this weekend, I am SO thankful he is staying home.

Some mentioned the link to pre-op questions. It is agreat resource. I have printed it up, highlighted the questions that I are appropiate for me and added a few more of my own.

As the others said treat yourself ... I have done most of my shopping, but I think I will go look for some chenile socks. I bought a body pillow, a real soft snuggly blanket, some pretty night gowns and a few books I have been looking forward to and just other little things to help me feel better.

The day before (providing I dont have to do a bowel prep, otherwise it will the day before that) I am going to get a mani/pedi. Pamper yourself !!! Do what you need to do to help you stay as calm as possible. We will see each other on the otherside and celebrate together.

I thought today would be a better day, but last night I had nightmares of me going into surgery. It was awful. I think that I will go do some shopping today and get my mind of the surgery for a while then come back and organize some of my clothes drawers and leave everything handy for my return.
