The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
The 1.5 weeks before my surgery I had such a hard time sleeping, I would go to bed tired but couldn't fall asleep for at least an hour after. Good luck on Thursday and I hope you can manage to get some sleep!

Try a Gravol if you can't get your mind to shut off, I find that they help me when I can't get to sleep.
I wish you all the best for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Looking forward to hearing that you are on the bench.

Hi there,
I sometimes have trouble sleeping, and I have 12 more days to go. I woke up today after 4 3/4 hours' sleep and can't get back to sleep. It would be abnormal not to be worrying or thinking about your surgery. I can only imagine how you must feel with your surgery tomorrow!
Good luck and best wished for a speedy recovery!
Jenn. :)
