I think I know how you feel. You are probably a little scared, anxious before the surgery, I think that might be the reason you are acting that way. My surgery date is Feb. 4th, and at the begining of the week, I felt so lonely and afraid and anxious, I would cry at anything and everything! Then one day, I went into my bedroom and had a good cry, prayed and read the Bible, within a few minutes, I felt so much better!

I will be praying for you and thinking of you! Do something nice for yourself, maybe a bath or a little shopping (or window shopping!) trip would be nice and distracting! Take care,

Awwww, Sweetie,

It is perfectly normal for alot of us to feel the same way you are feeling right now, before such a huge event like this surgery. You should have seen me before my lap last April.... I can truly relate.

The wait is the hardest part of all this, really. You are gonna be alright and it will be over and done with before you know it.

Try and focus on what is good and how your life will be better afterwards. No more pain, mess and all that goes with it. You will feel so much better and be able to concentrate on what really matters, yourself and your beautiful family.

How about doing things with friends like going out to lunch or some favorite outing you like to do to help get your mind off being nervous about the surgery. Get your kids involved in helping get the house ready for your recovery and making it fun like putting favorite music on when you do. Pampering the Princess can never hurt ahead of time.....take your walks, read a good book, bubble baths.....

I think your children are being so sweet. My son was great and he is almost the same age as yours. When they want to openly help and show caring emotions towards you, take all you can get, when you can get it, savor it. It will help get you a long way in your recovery.

The first thing I saw when they woke me in my castle room after my surgery was a note from my son on the dry erase board my castle uses for staff names and such for the patients. He wrote "I love you Mom" and drew a . That meant the world to me. Especially in the immediate post op time.

I hope they do understand that it is ok and normal for you to feel this way right now and that it wont last forever.

As you know, we do understand and you may "run off at the mouth" anytime you feel the need. We will be here for you.

Blessings for a uneventful castle stay and restful recovery. Please post and let us know how you are doing when you are up to it.

Hi Angeleyes
I'm going through the same thing, The irritability plus I'm yelling, throwing stuff and just generally better left alone. This is nuts! I find that once I calm down, my DH and I repeat, it will get better, it will get better, life will be so much better. It seems that the time between my hissy fits lengthens and it does get better. And I agree it's the small stuff that drives me around the corner, like who did'nt refill the sugar bowl (salt shaker, toilet paper etc. etc)
ARghhh! I have a fourteen year old daughter who hides most of the time, (can't say as I blame her) I wish I had her asking for hugs like your ds! For us it's the same yet different.

I have no intention of hitting anyone or anything when I throw so no need to worry about that. Anyone have any ideas on how to get minute rice out of the stipple ceiling? LOL

All the best, will keep an eye out for you on the boards

I know how you feel. I feel like I can think of nothing else but my upcoming surgery, and if anyone expect me to I get really irritated. My kids are 12 and 10 - I tried to explain it to them in simple terms and they took it on board a little I think - they just wander off now when I get cranky!!

Angie,

We're in the same boat! I just want to be left alone - and there's a few weeks before the surgery... :hair:

Hang in there! We'll probably chuckle about our "Jekyll and Hyde" imitations once we're all healed and feeling great!
