Fear and frustration
I was, key word: WAS, scheduled to have my surgery in the morning. 2:30 this afternoon the cardiologist called saying there was an "abnormality" with my Nuclear Stress Test. It was the nurse, and of course she can't give me a lot of information. She did say the doctor wanted to see me to discuss findings and options before he approved me for surgery. Now, I would, of course, want anything found to be taken care of and thankful that it's being found "earlier rather than later." but...frustration. My PCP has been trying to get me to do this surgery for over a year. I decided it was the best option, went for it. Once the decision was made...I want it NOW. Then the fear of what is the problem, what are the options, what, what, what?!?!?!?!. On top of the general "what the heck am I doing" fears. I'm trying to stay positive, and trying to be strong...but I'm scared.
Remember to breathe! Better to find this stuff out pre-op than post-op.. or even mid-op!
