TAH: A little nervous,TAH tomorrow

I can't believe I am so close now. I am ready to get this over with. I try to focus on how much better life will be when this is over. No more heavy bleeding, no more pressure in my pelvis, no frequent trips to the bathroom because tumors are pressing against my bladder, no more fatigue and no more severe menstrual cramps. I am thankful that I will have all the help I will need. I have been very busy trying to get in my last few class assignments and I am still working. Today will be my last day at the office. I am fine until I think about the surgery. I have to have a transabdominal and the thought of being put under anestesia again and going through that is scary. I have peace about the surgery. I know it is the right thing for me to do. It is the surgical process that makes me nervous. I know that I will be okay. My surgeon said it will only take about an hour. I know it will be over before I know it. I just needed to vent about it. I find what time I am scheduled for surgery, today between 1:30-4:00pm. I am praying it is early in the morning. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks hystersisters

Good Luck!! I will say a prayer for you.

I will keep you in my prayers as well. *HUGS* to you !!

Thank you all. I appreciate it. I am feeling a little better now. The anxiety goes and comes. But I am much better now than I was earlier today.

Today is my 2nd anniversary for my hyst. Best of luck today. Keep thinking positive thoughts. I remember sitting in the day surgery waiting area, breathing deeply & saying/praying,"I am well. I have no pain. The doctors know what they're doing. I will be healthy and well." I did this for what seemed like forever until they called me back. The waiting is the worst. You will feel SO much better after this is done AND you'll be able to laugh at all the poor suckers who still have to buy tampons at the grocery store.

Lynetteaquino......I know what you are going through. My surgery is not until Jan 4th and even then, it is not yet set in stone. I am having a TAH, BSO as well. My worries are AFTER the surgery....the RECOVERY! With all of the possible things that could go wrong, my mind will not stop thinking about those things. I will continue praying for you and that you have a wonderful "event free" recovery! *Hugs*

I wish you the best and a speedy recovery! I'm still waiting in line for my turn. I have to admitt I get a little jelous every time another princess gets to go before me. Just relax and think of your happy place. Mine is laying on the beach soaking up the sun and listening to the waves & seagulls

You will definitely feel much better as I too had similiar symptoms as you. I was so worried about how I would feel after my surgery and about my recovery but it hasn't been as bad as I had imagined.

Hang in there...you are just about there. Try and do something fun today.

Best wishes with your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery.
