Hi FlyingPhotoGirl!

I know exactly how you feel. My surgery was this past Monday, and at times I was beside-myself (whatever that means) with worry before the surgery. But keep in mind that the hospital will give you something to help relax you shortly before the surgery, which will help.

I also have to say that it was kind of "nothing special" to all the surgeries and people around me at the hospital. It was actually somewhat anti-climatic.

You might try cleaning out a closet or going to a movie tomorrow -- something that will take your mind off everything.

Bountiful good luck to you!

How did it go? I just had mine in the 11th. I hope you are recovering well!

It went really well. Last night was my worst night so far. It was really hard to get comfortable. I feel much better today. I still am really worried about getting fluids in. It is very difficult for me.

It is really difficult for me to get my liquids in too. I tried so hard yesterday but was too full. I get my first shake today because I didn't drink enough water in time last night to get my shake. Good luck! I'm glad it went well and hope you get some rest in to make up for last night.
