One Week to Go

It's amazing the emotions that one goes through as you get closer to your surgery date. As you may know a couple of weeks ago my emotions were all over the place (, , , ,) you name it. Last week they settled down to just and . Now with one week left to go I feel a tremendous sense of excitement and calm. I know that I have done all the research that I can do. I have a wonderful support system in place and I am confident in my choice of surgeons. All I have left to do is wait, and so I am trying to really take care of myself this next week. To really just pamper myself and relax. If you see me alot on the boards this week it's because I am on vacation from wor****il my surgery and will probably be posting like . I think that when you have done all that you can do and you have prepared to the best of your ability then it's a waste to worry. If something bad is going to happen no amount of worrying is going to impact the outcome of the situation. So I am choosing to be positive and think happy thoughts. Smooches, Kim

whoohooo!! One week left to go! This next week will pass so quickly for you.. It may seem like its dragging on but once your big day gets here you will feel like time flew right by you!! Good luck to you! You have your head straight and know exactly what your doing.. Thats makes the whole process that much easier.. Try to remember to do something *nice* for yourself everyday leading up to surgery. Youve gone through so much to get to this point and you deserve it! Keep posting updates! I love to hear how things are going for everyone! If you need anything just yell.. I read all the posts even if I dont reply to them.. Amber

HMMMMMM WONDER WHO TOLD YOU TO RELAX TAKE DO YOUR AND WHEREVER DID YOU GET THAT SENSE OF CALM I AM HYPER AND THINK YOU SHOULD BE TOO

Hey Kim congratulations on being this close to the losers side!! I know what you mean by emotions I've had the sense of calm and just wanting to come on and get it done so I can get on with my life as it should be. Good luck on your surgery and your right in just taking it easy and relaxing. Take care, Anita

Kim, I suppose each of us go through mental preperation for surgery in our own way... I find your posting and your journal insightful. I am not sure how I will respond within to my surgrey ( date most like not until spring 2006), but I hope that I might gleen from your experience. Thank you for so much for sharing. You are lucky to have such a good support system close to you. And just think... you will be that much ahead of me, that when I go in for my surgery you will be a pro and will have lost so much weight you will have had to have bought new clothes! Funny how we can blink our eyes and our tomarrows are our yesterdays and our yesterdays become our treasured memories. My thoughts are with you..... sending you some big hugs too. ~*~ Pam
