Red face Almost time, getting freaked.

Good Morning!

I am just reading posts at work, trying to stay busy which has helped my mind a bit (to settle away from the realization I am having surgery in 2 DAYS!)...the more I read I guess reality is just setting in. I am so nervous and my spouse, family and friends want to ease my mind but I just keep telling them "I'm ok, with it..." because I don't want to stress them out or make them worry, what will be will be so what's the use in getting them all worked up. I guess I will just let it be, don't even know why I'm writing.
This too shall pass, this too shall pass.....

Can't wait to get through this stage of things.

Hi Jina!

Just wanted to say good luck to you! Congratulations on making a wonderful decision for your future. Don't worry about the surgery - it's nowhere near as painful as you would think and hey - there's always drugs!

You will absolutely rock it and remember we are all here for you when you need any advice or support.

Jina;

Perhaps you should at least be honest about your feelings with your spouse. Talk about what you're worried about specifically and it will probably ease your anxiety a bit. It's common though I was real nervous too and it turned out fine. Best wishes

Default Thanks ladies

First off, thanks Shereeks you seem like a super nice person...LOL, to the drugs, yes-they are the silver lining aren't they.

Deb, you're right, I should bit I just hate to put that one someone when virtually nothing is going to help ease my mind....just nerves I guess.

I will do that, just you two have already made me feel better...story of my life, always taking things on by myself.

Thanks again!!
