Hello to you all!
I just want to say that I have spent many hours reading these posts from you all, and honestly, some posts have scared me so much I was starting to think that I would rather live with the pain... (then the pain hit and i thought I must be nuts to think that!! )
Thank you to all for posting your experiences. It has made me see that Im not nuts (I dont care WHAT the guys say that I work with... !! ) If waiting is the hardest part, then I guess I can suffer thru 12 more working days...
Is the anxiety worse a few days before the surgery? Im nervous now, and want to be prepared if I start to have more frequent panic attacks and burst out crying for nothing even more.. (im a worry-wart.. I know.. but will worry about worrying about that later )
Thanks again to all of you!

Sweet:
Some people feel more nervous and some people feel less nervous as their date approaches. It depends on the individual and the circumstances.
What worked for me was reading about the procedure and constantly checking up for new threads on the pre-op and post-op boards here on hyster sisters. It's amazing how many good questions come up here that you never think to ask yourself. There are several good articles archived here that will be of help as you are preparing for your surgery. IMHO the more you know the less you will be nervous or intimidated as your surgery gets closer.
If you are in pain now, remember that after the surgery, chances are that you will no longer have that pain anymore. That thought might help give you a little more positive outlook.
Good Luck!

Hi there
I found that a week or so out a calm acceptance seemed to descend upon me. It was quite nice actually. It never disappeared either. Went into surgery in a calm optomistic frame of mind. We're all different though, and I guess you won't really know until the time comes. Fingers crossed that the same happens to you.
All the best.
