Surgery tomorrow and it's my birthday today!
I just need to unload a little. No one around me seems to really understand what's going on right now, and why I feel the way I do. I'm such a mix of emotions. Because it's adeno that is the reason for the hyst, when I have a good day with relatively no pain, I wonder if I really should be doing this. Maybe I could live with it a little longer. Of course when I have a bad day I'm screaming for someone to take out my uterus :P I just worry that I'm doing the right thing, and this won't be the beginning of whole new set of problems. I think that is my biggest fear about this surgery, is that it will do more harm than good. I'm doing it because I want my quality of life back, I want enjoy sex, I don't want to have to wear a pad all the time because I never know when AF is going to show up, I don't want to be in pain anymore. But WHAT IF it creates other problems that are worse than what I am dealing with right now?? Ugh!
Today is my 28th birthday. My husband is taking me out on a date tonight to see The Pink Floyd Experience I'm very excited to go, I'm looking forward to it... Though I'm not looking forward to coming home after the show and giving myself an enema! ROFL!!! Today is also my last day to get anything done, and I will not be home tonight to do anything! I'm going crazy, I feel like I'm nesting all over again, and I'm desperately trying NOT to overdo it. I don't need to have the house spotless, I will have help after the surgery, I just need to relax and remind myself that someone else can deal with any mess that is left when I go in. I was supposed to have tomorrow until 1pm, but they changed my OR time to 10:30am, so now I have to be at the hospital at 8:30... while I'm happy that I don't have to fast until 3pm when my original time was, I'm upset because I was counting on having until 1pm to finish packing my bag and getting ready... instead I should be doing it right now!
Anyway, I really should get off the computer and go finish laundry and packing. I don't know if I'll get the chance to be back on before tomorrow, so if I don't: See you on the other side (Post-op that is) and thank you for all your support!

Re: Surgery tomorrow and it's my birthday today!
First off, Happy Birthday Sister!!!
You are normal for questioning everything right now, I would too. I have adeno and I know your pain!! It's awful, and unfortunately our prognosis is that it will only get worse. You are doing the right thing, and I think you just have the normal pre-surgery jitters. Please enjoy the show tonight it sounds like a great time, and perfect for the night before your big day. Try not to think about anything you have to do when you get home while your there, just enjoy the moment. I know it's hard, but think about being pain free, and blood free!! I will be thinking of you and sending you lots of healing vibes. I will say a prayer for you and a quick recovery! Trust me about the time change you are sooo much better off going in earlier. You will be glad after that you had it done early. Hang in there and please let us know how you're doing.
~BIG HUGS~

Happy Birthday. It's good that you will be distracted at a concert tonight. I needed distractions the day before my suregery as well. Just go easy on the food if dinner out is part of the plan. Your system will not be functioning well for quite a while.

LOL I was planning on stuffing my face at dinner because it's my last meal before a fluid diet, and then hospital food. I guess maybe I should stick to light food?
