Help! I Need A Hug!! 24 Hour Countdown
HI, SISTERS!
THOUGHT I WAS DOING OK -- YIKES!!
MY TVH WITH POSTERIOR REPAIR IS TOMORROW. I STUPIDLY SCHEDULED CLIENTS TODAY. I HAD TO CANCEL THE ONE'S I COULD REACH 'CAUSE I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING BUT THAT SURGERY!
:explode:
WENT TO TARGET FOR LAST-MINUTE SUPPLIES. WOUND UP SPENDING $$$ ON JUNK!!! JUST TO SOOTHE MYSELF. ALMOST GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH THE MANAGER OVER THE PRICE OF 6" CORK PLANT COASTERS. LIKE, HOW UNCOOL IS THAT?!?
I KNOW I'M JUST SCARED. PLEASE SEND SOME LOVE!
DEBBIE

Help! I Need A Hug!! 24 Hour Countdown
Dear Debbie,
I can relate completely to the way you feel right now. Your nerves are shot, and you're trying to prepare physically and mentally for a major ordeal. As a mother and wife, I had to make sure groceries were bought, the house was clean enough that I could let it go a few weeks, laundry caught up, dry cleaning picked up, etc., etc. I felt like the condemned man eating my last meal the night before my surgery, but I made it through with flying colors! We're all praying for you, and can't wait for you to be well enough to tell your tale! Lots of hugs, and you'll do just fine.

You got it- Hugs a plenty
Me too. 10/4. I have truly come to peace with this, at least I think I have. I am in my office, wrapping up a few marketing details and cleaning my desk! It is great that you are willing to reach out and ask for what you want. That is the only way we can get thru scary times and heal. Be assured that you are receiving exactly what you are asking for. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and see yourself surrounded by family and friends and other hystersisters who care about you and send you their love.
I am full of faith that we will both be ok and have a chance to finally relax after tomorrow. Today, I am focusing on what I love about my life and how greatful I am for the blessings I have.This is a routine operation and we will be fine.
Check in when you are out, and if you want to email me, please do. I will be checking in thru the evening.
Sending Love to you.

Now, breathe: it will be ok. I had the exact same surgery you're having and I was amazed at how little pain I felt when I woke up. I thought: what was all this fuss about? And I realized it was true: the waiting is the hardest part.
Debbie, relax, enjoy this last day before your day to the castle and don't fret to much (I know, easier said than done )
You'll be OK. Before you know it, it will all be over and you'll be starting your new, healthier life.
Lots of 's

Help! I Need A Hug!! 24 Hour Countdown
Hi Debbie:
Love, hugs and prayers to you! I know with 20 days left I am frantically trying to get my to-do list done. But everytime I cross something off, two more get added! I keep telling myself that this is a way to keep my mind off my pain and surgery, but I don't know anymore.
Anyway, we will all be thinking of you tomorrow. Try to get a good nights rest, relax, and keep telling yourself that when this is over, you will no longer be in pain!
Keep your chin up!
