Waiting and scared
Hi, I'm new to this, not even sure I'm doing this message thing right. My surgery is scheduled for Feb 13th, guess I won't be too romantic on Valentine's. I wanted to answer another message posted here from someone else who is waiting and sounds just as scared as I feel, but don't know how. Can anyone help me? I think this website is absolutely fabulous, I've gained so much information and feel better realizing I'm not the only one out here who is scared and feeling uninformed and afraid to ask. I'm so lucky I have a very supportive husband who I know will support me in every way. Its not just the thought of a hysterectomy that scares me, its the whole "going under" thing. Anyway, if someone could please let me know how I answer people, or talk to them I would appreciate it, Thank You

Waiting and scared
Hi, got your message. Don't be scared, I go in early thursday morning at 5 am and surgery at 8:30...I know how you feel, the last two days I had some peace within, and today "nervous wreck", and trying to get those last minute things done like I'm going away for a long time, hmmmmm, I think I am more concerned about "after" as to what my left over hormones, (if any) and me will be like, and concern about osteroporosis (sp?) and heart disease? I want to take one thing at a time for now, I am trying to believe me, but I do wonder (WORRY) about the initial pain and hope the doctor doesn't make a mistake,,,ya know what I mean??? hehehe, and theres a full moon thursday..**YIKES** I'm going to tell the GYN and the Anesthestialogist <----- (I know thats spelled wrong bad ) to be extra careful they may be off balance some ya know? Okay, enough for this gal, I hope and pray you'll be okay. I will think of you and keep you in my prayers. You are right! we are NOT alone, thanks to this wonderful website huh?...
hugs and blessings, Annie

Hi!
I felt so nervous before my surgery (TAH/BSO 20/12/2000) one minute as you said it would be OK and the next I would be so afraid. It was hard going into the hospital and "keeping it together". But thankfully all went well and I was back home 3 days later. It is tough but you will certainly get a lot of great support and advice here on this site. I didnt find this place until after my op, I wish I had found it before but better late than never!
Now I am 7 weeks post-op and feel much better than I have in ages. I am returning to work (on light duties) next week (I work part-time, I wouldnt be ready if it was full-time). The best part is knowing that all I went through before the op is over and cant possibly return - great feeling!
I hope all goes well for you, just hang on in there and hopefully it will be over and you will be back home ASAP!
Take care!
