Two More Days to Go

Apr 28, 2008 01:06AM - 5 comments

Oh my goodness...surgery is the day after tomorrow and I'm so not ready for it.  My little brother is so scared for me and I act like it's no big deal infront of him.  I even tell him I"m not scared when he asks me.  I don't want other people to worry so I joke around and not talk about it infront of my parents and other family members.  Inside I'm terrified.  My husband is the only one that knows how I really feel.  Tuesday will be here before I know it.  Tomorrow I have to do groceries early because my husband is working (he's usually off Mondays) and then I have to take that laxative so I won't be going much elsewhere; I'll need to be here at home close to the bathroom at all times :)  I want to do laundry as well and leave everything as clean as possible.  I hope I'm only there one night but I think it's going to be two nights.  I'm going to write a will.  I just don't want to leave anything unsaid because you never know.  I told my husband that I want to be buried not cremated, and that if something happens and I need life support, they should keep me on it as long as they still can keep the faith that a miracle might happen.  They have happened before.  The odds are on my side, but the chances are there that something can go wrong, so I have to say my wishes.  I especially don't want to make my mother worry.  She's been depressed over my cousin's death 3 months ago, as well as other things the family is going through and I don't want her to have something else to worry about.  I hope everything turns out well.

I know how scary surgery is, for both you and your family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers that everything turns out fine and you'll be home before you know it.

My thoughts are with you and your surgery.  You will get through this.  Take your favorite things with you so you are as comfortable as possible.  Please let us know how you did.

All the best,
Trudie

Hi!  I did all the same things you did, to try and prepare my family for "mom" being gone.  I had a complete abd. open surgery (hyst & ooph).  I'm 3+ weeks post op, results came back no cancer (praise God!) and I am feeling really really well.

I didn't realize the fibroids, dermoids & teratoma that were in there were affecting the way I felt daily!

I will pray for your quick recovery and please keep us posted!

hugs,
Morrowville

ok so you have done everything for everyone else.... I did the same thing last surg and know I will do it gain on Thursday before I go into surg #2 on Friday....
Now just a sugestion.... do something for you....I see you have a 4 year old and it sounds like your really close to your husband spend some quality time with them. It has been my experience that your frame of mind is very VERY important. Go to the park, play your favorite game, watch your favorite movie  ect...  you get the point
I will keep you in my thoughts &  prayers

Best of luck...but you don't really need it!  You are prepared.  You have done all you can.  You just have to trust in yourself and your doctor.  The rest will all fall into place.  Take a deep breath an imagine yourself in your favorite place...mine is floating on a surfboard with my feet dangling in the warm blue waters of Hawaii with my arms and head resting on the surfboard...gently floating in the soft warm breeze and watching my family play on shore. Savor what you have and it will be there when you wake up.

Hope this helps.
