Tomorrow is my day

By anglov

I both excited and nervous. My mind is racing right now. I have got so much to do yet I don't know where to start. What shall I do first?

 

I have to be at the hospital to check in at 5:30 am. Dang that is early!! My surgery is at 7:30.

 

My hubby is staying home with me tomorrow and Thursday and then I am on my own during the day. I am so glad I took off work until the 20th.

 

Now I am wondering what I am going to do about sleeping. My bed sits very very high. I literally have to climb up to get in it and I am 5'6". I guess I can sleep in the reclining seat on the couch if I am too sore to make the trek into my high rise bed.

 

Now back to my nervousness...I am getting jittery. I have a lot of nervous energy right now but all I can do is worry about tomorrow. Deep down I know it will all be okay but part of me is still really really scared.

    Don't worry...the surgery really is a breeze. I had very minimul pain after surgery and was up walking around within the hour. I did sleep in the recliner the first night and back to my bed the second night. My best advice is to walk, walk and walk. I think because I did this pretty much every couple of hours my healing was quick and quite painless.

    Best of luck..you will be fine.

    Who is your surgery with? I was so nervous and scared the night before, I barely got any sleep, got lots of housework done! After it was all over, I came home and slept. Walked alot around the house when I was awake, and that really helped. You will be fine, just think positive, it will be over before you know it, and life begins again!
