Sally, I just read about your fears on the forum and I felt compelled to write to you. Although I am not even close to actually getting the surgery, I understand your fear. It is extrememly scary to say the least, and it doesn't help that it is elective. Wouldn't it be wonderful if a doctor just called an ambulance, called a hospital and said "This is NOT elective...you HAVE to do this, or you will die!!". It would take a lot of the anxiety away, since we would not have the time to anguish about our decision. Unfortunately, it isn't so. Like you, I am petrified and go from wanting it ABSOLUTELY to absolutely NOT wanting it. I truly think those feelings are normal. In my case, I have incredible faith in God, and his power to let me know what is right for me. Sally, I know you too are a woman of faith, and I would suggest you pray about this with all sincerity and with an open heart. Then listen to that little voice inside of you. If this is the right thing to do, you will feel at peace. If you don't get that peaceful feeling just yet, there is nothing wrong with postponing the surgery. NO-ONE here is going to be disappointed in you. We all understand!! This is an incredible decision, and you have every right to wait until you know it is right. I truly wish you well, Sally. Please know that my toughts and prayers are with you.

Sally, I feel as if I know you and wish you the very best with your surgery. As a fellow nurse, I understand your fears and concerns, but also I hope you realize that your knowledge and experience will make it easier than with one who doesn't know the "system". Know that many prayers and wll wishes are going out to you in the next two days. Be sure to have Lois post on AMOS often and we look forward to hearing from you as soon as you can, Addie
