Feeling a Little Anxious

Dec 22, 2010

Yes.  I am feeling a tad bit anxious.  Not sure how much of that is because my surgery is in 5 days or because I spent too much for Christmas! lol! 

I feel like I am prepared for what is to happen.  I am 100% confident that I am doing the right thing.  I have done a lot of research and read as much as I could to understand the process.  So, I don't think the anxiety is coming from the unknown or fear of the unknown.  I think it is healthy anxiety that anyone would have before a surgical procedure.  Also, I am excited about what is too come and maybe that feels more like anxiety than excitement.

I am trying to not bore my friends and family too much about it.  I try to not talk about it too much but it naturally is at the forefront of my mind every minute.  I don't want to be that person that constantly talks about their surgery, or their liquid diet, etc. 

I went to the pre-op anesthesiologist appointment this morning.  It went well  - a very easy process.  I now have my little bottle of surgical soap to use the night before and the morning of the surgery.  I know where to go when I come to the hospital.  I know what to wear (loose clothing - something that buttons down the front) - and I know what not to wear (makeup, clips in my hair, jewelry, lotions, perfume).  I know what I can and can't drink and I know what time I have to stop even that.  So now I guess I just have to do all that when the time comes.  It seems like I have been waiting for this day forever.  Maybe I have. 

Well.  Now I need to get to work.  Can't waste any more time.  I have all that Christmas debt to pay!
