TAH: Surgery eve, all alone and nervous as heck!!

Well here it is, the night before my surgery and I am all alone. My husband works overnights and will not be home until an hour prior to having to take me to the hospital and the kids are with my mom. I have packed and cleaned and now all I can think about is tomorrow. I just keep thinking about the 'what ifs' and have myself a nervous wreck!! I know that once this is over it will be worth it, but the waiting is killing me!!!

I'm sorry you are alone tonight of all nights too! I just found this site today my surgery is the 25th. All these people are with you right now through the miracle of the internet! We all have you in our thoughts as we are all waiting to go through this too! I send u a big hug! and a prayer for a smooth surgery and strength to undergo it! hang in there good luck, my day is coming too. kirstin

Thank you so much. Good luck with your surgery too. I will keep you in my thoughts as well.

Oh that is tough! Have you thought about maybe watching a comedy or something like that? I know the eve before my surgery I watched tons of t.v. which is something I typically don't do. I just wanted something to take my mind of the next day. It helped a bit.

Sending you hugs and good wishes for your surgery!

Best wishes to you for a relaxing and calm evening, a successful surgery, and an easy recovery. I'll see you over at the Post Op board! Take care!

Good luck to you. I'm having my surgery too. I agree, watch some comedies or take a nice relaxing bubble bath.

You will fine - had my TAH on 1.11.10 and I was nervous the night before but watched lots of TV and finally fell asleep.

Sorry to hear that you are alone tonight! I just had mine a week and also did all of the "what-ifs". My recomendation is to stay OFF the computer (reframe from any more "research" over everything) but is the same as the others...Watch TV (get some good laughing in as it hurts a bit afterwards), take a bubble bath, and try to pamper yourself a bit. (You could see if Bravo or one of the channels has a marathon going on, like Project Runway...the stuff that is hard to convince others to watch when everyone is at home ;-) Pamper yourself and you will be in my thoughts tonight & tomorrow!

My advice take a long relaxing bath...pamper yourself tonight with a scrub, a good soak maybe a facial...light some candles and celebrate a new you on the way. Things will be great and you will do good, we are all with you. Enjoy the bath it is the one thing I miss...not released to take one yet.

Just wanted to wish you a peaceful night and believe me the waiting is the worst part!! May you be calm in the morning and know that you will soon be a pampered princess!
