Surgery Tomorrow 11/14/13
Well I finally know the time now, as its changed twice already, tomorrow I will arrive at the hospital at 1:30pm and the surgery starts around 3pm. I didn't sleep last night for more than 2 hours, as every thought imaginable popped into my head as I was laying there. Had my pre-op this morning and that went...well lets just say I wish I would of had the pre-op with a woman!!!!
As the male doc I had, went on to tell my boyfriend of 17 years that he better find something to do when my emotions start going crazy after surgery and going on saying that "She's going to be all over the place" for the next couple of years. I sat there like oh great, your really making me want to go ahead with this surgery tomorrow.
So I ended up coming home and sleeping for acouple hours. My acid reflux is acting up so bad, but I'm sure thats because of anxiety and nerves right now.
I know that this surgery is something that I NEED done, as I can't keep feeling crappy as I have been for the past couple of years. But I can't escape the fears that I may regret this afterwards ever since this male doc said those things this morning. And then it goes into WHAT IF'S...What if They decide to take both ovaries? I am already going through terrible hot flashes and mood swings!
I have to keep telling myself that I'm doing this for the right reasons and thats to get my life back and feel better. But honestly I just hope that my anxiety lessens or that they can give me something right when I get to the hospital to calm me, cause I know I have to do this.
My plan tonight so far is to watch movies until I can't stay awake no longer and then hopefully sleep till just before I have to leave for the hospital. I know that probably isn't going to happen, but I'm going to try my hardest!
Its amazing how bad we all fear the unknown, I just can't wait to be on the other side of all of this!
Good luck to all the others who also have upcoming surgeries, I couldn't imagine having to wait a long time as all mine happened in less than a week, and thats got me crazy! Many Hugs to you all and Best Wishes
Donna

Donna, you are going to be okay. Deep breaths. My surgery is Friday and I'm a bucket of nerves myself. I've felt most of the nerves you are feeling. I have had a week and a half to wait. Not sure how I'm going to do tomorrow night, my last night before going to the Castle. Cyber Hugs! Can't wait to talk with you on the other side.

Re: Surgery Tomorrow 11/14/13
My surgery is tomorrow as well and I know that I have been in near panic for most of the day. I have been trying super hard to talk myself into a more positive state of mind and it has been working so far but last night was awful. I have gone through all the horrible "what-ifs" and having panic attacks that is making my acid reflux bad. I have been cleaning all day and trying to stay occupied so I don't sit and let my mind wander. I am hoping that I have worn myself out enough to get some sleep tonight. Hugs to you and good luck. I will be thinking of you. My surgery is in the morning.

Hugs to you and to all of us going to the castle in the morning. My anxiety has been increasing all day as well. It is now 12:30 here and I have to be at the castle in 7 hours but am so wound up I can't sleep. Prayers for a successful surgery and uneventful recovery.

Best of luck to you. Sending warm wishes and lots of hugs your way. Don't let that stupid male doctor give you doubts about what you doing. Just remember how much better you will feel when it's all over. My hysterectomy is the 15th. I'll post again after my surgery. Best wishes to all of my sisters.

Re: Surgery Tomorrow 11/14/13
Its Ally here. Had the vaginal hysterectomy 2 days ago and I'm fine except the lower abdomen pain as I'm conscious of the fact I no longer have a uterus. My vagina has no stitches or tears and I don't feel any pain down under, just pressure of the lower tummy, below the navel, but I'm getting some good pain killers to relief the pain I'm feeling. I am still in hospital. Tonight is my 3rd night. I'm going home tomorrow. Hubby is taking off for a week to pamper me, so I know I will be fine if I just follow doctors orders. I'm from cape town. Good luck to all. I must admit the pain of the vaginal hysterectomy is much less than the caeser I had 4 years ago, toodles, hugs
