I have had a really hard week emotionally seeing my elderly Mum who I am not telling about the op(WHICH IS NEXT FRIDAY!!) I came home feeling drained and full of negative thoughts.

OK. So I got it together again (with the help of some solid friends and DH) and have been pretty calm for the past 2 days but since Thursday have been getting this feeling like my heart is being squeezed.It passes really quickly and could not be classed as a pain but I am aware its happening.

I did have an ECG pre-op and it was so good they decided not to bother with a stress test. I am really loath to go to the ER as I would be there all day and I know in my heart that its stress but I wonder has anyone experienced the same??

I really have found the past week hard,partly because of the enormity of the decision and partly because I am keeping it confidential and that in itself is making me feel a bit of a hypocrite. I think the pre-op diet is making me a bit shaky also.

ANYBODY HAD SIMILAR FEELINGS? I am really working hard to keep the stressful/negative emotions at bay but obviously me ol' body ain't fooled!!
