Alfred, My surgery date is the 26th. When they called me to give me the date, I honestly was not excited it was more apathetic, or so I thought. You are right up until now it has been academic. Anyway, up until yesterday I did not sleep but 10 to 20 minutes at a time. I was in tears at my appointment yesterday just from lack of sleep. My NP said that even though I am not conciously aware of it, I am obviously anxious about the surgery. So she prescribed me an anxiety medication that is also for insomnia. It worked, yay! I was able to get a full night last night and only woke up once. I would discuss what is bothering you with your pcp. They may be able to help with the anxiety. Hope this helped a little, you aren't alone. Never give up, never surrender
