2 Days To Surgery

By sweetsoutherngirl

So Wed. is my surgery and today I woke up in a full panic about the surgery. Really?? As hard as I have worked to get to this point, why am I now freaking out about it? I have had surgery before and I honestly do not recall very much about it. I had my tubes tied and to my memory,it was a cakewalk after. I guess I need to calm my nerves and try to settle down. I have so many things to do at work to get them ready for me to be out. I also cleaned my house from top to bottom today and grocery shopped for the family. I also told my kids today and I really need to tell my mother. I am just not sure how she will respond. My hubby and kids are very supportive. I am packing my bag today to ensure I don't forget anything. Did anyone else have a case of nerves before going in?

    LOL! All the way up to being sedated? Now I am wondering what I wear to the hospital? I should be able to wear my regular clothes, right?

    They told me to wear sweats or stretch pants to the hospital. U will be bloated from the gas and the surgery itself. Good luck!
