Default Surgery in Just 5 days!

Everyone,

I've been very busy - trying to organize everything @ work before My Surgery. I forgot to let you all know that my surgery is scheduled for 12/04. Everyone keeps asking if I am scared. I haven't really freaked out about the Surgery itself - I'm pretty calm about it but what I have been freaking about is clearing out my work - tomorrow's my last day. I feel overwhelmed about that. Well, if anyone has any sugestions or tidbits of what to expect on the day of surgery - that would really help. Well, I better get some sleep - I have one more LONG day of work.

I didn't really freak out either. I think I carried all my fears subconciously--the day before & the actual day of surgery are still a blur.

You'll do great. Good luck!!

You'll do great. My date is Jan. 07 so I have a while before I freak out. I am hoping I will be able to log in a few hours from home after my surgery. Good Luck!
