Scared

Well this is my last weekend and I'm scared to death. This whole time I never felt scared at all, I am very positive about this whole thing but really can't get over how scared I am getting... I don't know if it's the thought of what could happen or the fact that this is finally happening but in either case I'm a wreck. I can't sleep so I've cleaned my whole house top to bottom and am now at work finishing a few things before Monday, Halloween....My re-birthing day. How exciting. Maybe it's more excitment than scared???? I don't know but I do know I can't wait until this feeling leaves me. You all have a wonderful weekend and a great Halloween. Veronica

I soooooo understand where your coming from..I got scared just going to my consultation. It's ok to be scared. Just be assured that there are a lot of people praying for you, that you go through surgery and healing with a breeze. Recovery will be good and in no time you will be on the loosing side.. :thimbsup: Relax over the weekend, and just be ready for Monday. hugz... Elaine O.

To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds. To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart. The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love. To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us. When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again. To believe is to know we are not alone. That life is a gift and this is our time to cheri**** To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen. And all our hopes and dreams are within reach. If only we believe. My prayers and thoughts are with you for a successful surgery and speedy recovery! ~Sherri~

I know how you feel, but it's totally normal! My surgeon told me if I weren't nervous he'd wonder why. Try not to be scared, try to think only positive thoughts!! I had a voice mail message on my cell phone as we were driving to the hospital, from a co worker, and I must have listened to hit 75 times while I waited! She told me to think positive, to think of beautiful things, and think of my favorite things. It really helped me!! I will be thinking and praying for you on Monday - everything will be fine!! Try to enjoy the rest of your weekend - I know it's hard!! Carol V

Veronica, Your feelings are completely normal! I was REALLY scared before my surgery. I was actually crying in the room waiting to be wheeled into surgery. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to your updates when you are on the losing side. Brenda
