surgery near - had pre op visit
Yesterday I went for my pre op visit ( I have been a bundle of nerves as I have been scheduled for surgery for two months). After DH and I spoke with the Dr I felt calmer, had blood work and Ekg done. Was told that I needed to use laxatives and enemas on Wednesday along with liquid diet for surgery on Thursday the 11th of March.
My youngest DD will be flying for a job interview on the day of my surgery (summer internship in Alabama) and flying back on the 14th. She's 19 and I'm always concerned about my chicks flying!
Then this morning I got a call that my 103 year old grandmother is in her last days (hours) on this earth. I will go there this evening with family.
Suddenly my insides are mush again and I'm trying to get thru a day at work. Please be in prayer for me as I try to face the next few days. In my daily devotionals I have asked God's presence on all the LIW and their doctors and nurses and ask that you keep me in mind as well.
Is it meant for me to postpone or cancel the surgery or should I forge ahead? My DH says go ahead (he's tired of the waiting) and I just need some reassurance I guess.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Oh I'm so sorry about all you have going on now! However, if it were me, I'd go ahead and not cancel. What can you do anyway? You've already got thru most of the tough waiting time, and I certainly wouldn't want to do that again.
Good luck to you!

surgery near - had pre op visit
hello wimpy woman! I feel the same way too. I am shceduled on 3-29 for a lavh and I keep telling myself don't worry about it now I still have 3 weeks. I can't help but think about it. I am trying to keep myself busy with work so I don't think about it. I just got a call a few minutes ago for my pre-op lab work. Now I am getting really nervous. I am not worried about anything except for the initial pain when I wake up. I guess we just have to pray about it and I know the Lord will get us through it. You will be ok, I think the waiting is the worst of it.
