Re: 2 more days ,,,omgosh
First step, breathe!!! Take a slow breath in and then let it out SLOWLY!! Do this for a few minutes until you are a little more relaxed.
Now this is normal. Don't panic, we have all been there. Believe me, you will be amazed how many of us are going to tell you the same thing. Try to focus on all the good things. First, your family will be with you which sounds like a great thing. Your son is going to have a good time with your family. And more importantly you don't have to worry about him and can be comfortable knowing he is in great hands.
It is totally natural to start being scared. What I did was to keep busy. I would read a book, do word find puzzles, go on the computer, you name it I did it. I also worked up until the day of my surgery so that helped me. Just keep taking deep slow breaths whenever you feel overwhelmed. It will help. Sending

Re: 2 more days ,,,omgosh
Good advise and I plan on taking it too the deep breathing. My surgery is on Thursday, my birthday. Each morning now I wake up and the first thing I feel is panic. I guess this is normal but it sure does not feel like it, does it? It is hard to live like this for weeks knowing the surgery is coming. I have so much more empathy now for so many that live every day with severe health issues. I understand. Come Thursday I will be freaking out too but I have a great Dr., family. Faith in God has comforted me too. This site helps too knowing I am not alone. Prayers for us both.

I was nervous too but coming to this site daily really helped me before my surgery. Just seeing I wasn't alone and reading some of the other ladies' fears really helped me to be more calm.

Re: 2 more days ,,,omgosh
It is normal to have these feelings. I cried all the way into the OR and I wanted to back out of surgery right up until they put the mask on my face. Let yourself have these feelings, it's an important part of the process. But during the day try to keep busy and prepare. Play with your kiddo and go for a walk. You will be home for a while post op so you'll be glad if you spend some time outside. You can do this. And we are here for you.
