Thank you for the nice post. I'm glad you found out a lot of information here because that is what we are here for

You are in my thoughts and prayers for an uneventful surgery, a smooth hospital stay, and a healthy recovery.

Sending you a big

hi kalieann: You and I share the same surgery day. When I am being wheeled down the hall to the OR I will think of you and that will help relax me that I am not alone. Is hard now that it is getting so close. I worry about everything. I, too, have gotten some wonderful knowledge and suggestions from this website. It is wonderful! Everyone here is a !!

Take care--all will be fine

thanks for the encouragement from everyone...especially danzale 19 . it will help to not feel so alone on surgery day. i"m starting to feel really "anxious" (as in nervous) and can't seem to concentrate on anything !! trying to get my house in order,which has been a challenge cuz i'm so tired . why is it we woman feel everything has to be "perfect" at times like these ?? i'm taking advice from everyone and getting my "recovery"room nice and cheery. thanks for listening everyone....its so wonderful to ramble on and know someone understands !!!!

That is so true Kalieann that we women feel everything and everyone has to be "all set" ---comfortable and business as usual! House clean----kids laundry caught up----groceries stocked---hubby content. All has to be perfect for everyone. I guess we are conditioned that way. I know I stress out about all these things--and more. I, too, want to spring clean the "recuperation" room. Hopefullly I can snag DH to help me this weekend.

You and I go to the Castle in 6 days! Next week at this time it will be over--we will officially be post-op. I feel a tad better since going for my pre-op appt on Tues. I was terrified of a huge vertical incision. My DR does not think I will have one. I think I finally am at the p oint I will put this surgrey in his and God's hands. That is not to say I won't be anxious or jittery. But I feel I have taken control of all I can with the knowledge I have learned at this website and other resources also.

I will be thinking of you Wednesday. Take care--
