Many thoughts....

Hi to all you wonderful ladies,

Well, this week has proved to be an interesting one...Surgery is on the 19th. Went to my pre-op appt this week. My is soooo cool. She had an office full of patients and she took 45 minutes with me...never once did I feel rushed, we talked thru options and just a bunch of different stuff.

I have so many emotions :confuse: , as well as pain. I'm scared that my tolerance is so high to pain meds that the pca won't work in the hospital (not something I like to admit). Although my doc thinks she might just use an epidural for the first 24 hours and then go from there. I have been under the supervision of a pain mang. doctor for several months, so she said she would call and discuss with him, told ya she was very cool.

My next worry is my dd. She is 4.5 going on 30!!! She is very sensitive to the fact that Mommy is hasn't been feeling well. We plan on telling her on Sunday about the Surgery, just basic mommy's belly needs to be fixed, etc. I know everyone says kids are reslient, etc. but I worry about how she will be when I'm in the hospital (staying with MIL), what she'll be like when I'm recovering.

Then there's my hubby, he's is so wonderful with all my craziness, we are trying to find a support site for him, anybody have any ideas??

We just lost our business due to a really messed up situation with our business partner so we have all this going on as well. When it rains it pours.

Finally, I broke out into a rash from stress and some type of allergic reaction....so all I'm doing is itching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can someone just shoot me now????? :cry:

Ok, I'm done verbally barfing nice visual...Sorry, i guess I just have myself very worked up...

Thanks for listening (reading) to me..

It is very normal, and we are all here for you...to listen to you. It is fine. Know where you are coming from.

It isn't long, now, and you will be very happy you got through this. I am 6 months post op and it is the BEST thing I ever did. I had four kids at home at the time and a dh working out of town...I worried about everything..but it all has a way of working out.

Good luck, hang in there!

you will be so glad you had your hyst.maybe you can let your daughter "help" you when you get home. books,remote,pillow,etc.sometimes just helping mommy helps them to forget their anxiety and at the same time makes them feel grown up. i have 2 boys who were 5 and 7 at the time of my surgery.they helped alot and they let me rest. good luck
