17 Days To go

Hi Everyone, I had my Pre-op visit and all is well. YEAH I have only 17 days to go before my surgery. I have times of excitment and times of freaking out. I feel sometimes overwhelmed with all the information. I want so bad to do everything like I am supposed to but I am somewhat affraid that I will mess something up.  I am writing letters for my daughter Just in case I don't make it through. (is that normal?) I am staying as positive as possible. But god forbid I die I want her to know how much I love her.  I hope my feelings and thoughts are normal. I know I can always count on the board to give me some words of wisdom to get me on track. Thanks, Lanette

Completely normal on everything you are feeling.  I remember well the excitement, the fear, writing letters to my loved one.  All of it.  You are on the road and the next step of your journey will be here soon.  So glad your preop went well.

Hi Lanette ~ Good Luck with all your pre-op stuff.  I just wanted to say hello since I am also having my surgery the 14th of May!  I also agree with Courtney that all the feelings you have are normal.  I have also been debating to write letters to my boys and husband.  Geez, all these emotions are almost to much to handle sometimes.  But put it all in God's hands and he will take care of you.  Good Luck!  Susan  :)

Lanette,

Everything you are feeling is absolutely normal - we have all been there. I decided not to write any letters as I cried each time I sat down to write them so I didn't do any in the end. I did not want my son to think I died trying t omake life better for him and I and then I wasn't there any more.  So I just made sure in the run up to surgery I told them both how much I loved them and left it at that. You will do just fine I am sure - we are all still here to tell the tale - you will be too!! Jackie
