Well...surgery is Tomorrow. I am getting more and more nervous. I know that I am doing the right thing, but I am worried about the kids being without me for 3 or so days. I know that their dad will be here with them, but I still worry. I have spent most of the day cooking meals so they all eat good while I am gone.

..surgery is Tomorrow.

Mel

hey girlfriend

surgery tomorrow - OMG

all those emotions, being scared/nervous totally typical

sounds like you are preparing for your absense nicely by cooking for your kids (better you than me )

glad you know that this is the right thing to do

wishing you smooth sailing

rink/sip, sip and walk as much as possible immediately post op

good luck

speedy recovery

Good luck Mel!

Best of luck!

The family will be fine - concentrate on your recovery.

Let us know how things go! You got this!!!

Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow Mel. Mine is tomorrow also.

You'll do great Mel! I have 2 toddlers. I sent them to stay with a relative for a week so my husband could care for me and not get too stressed. I don't know young your kids are but if they are young you may need some more time when you get home. Maybe your husband could set up a day or 2 away so you can recoup with him. Regardless you will be great. Precooking meals is smart! Sending a prayer your way.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I just hope I can sleep tonight. I think I am ready, but then I start to second guess myself. I know this is what is best for me, since I want to be around a long time for my kids and my honey!

Good luck Mel!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much. I know that my hubby has this all under control. Just nervous, as I have never been away from my kids this long.

Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow Mel. Mine is tomorrow also.

Good luck to you as well. I can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks for the support. My kids are 15, 12, and 10 so I should be good. They are all prepared for mom having to take it easy. If my kids were younger I would send them to my parents for the week. I think it is going to be nice to have them around while I recover. The good thing is they are going to be on winter break soon so they will be here to help.

Goooooood Luck!

Good luck! I'm sure you will do great!

Good luck! I'm sure you will do great!

Thanks so much.

From one Mel to another - good luck! I am right behind you - my surgery is 12/16!

Good luck.. you'll do great. And fyi my kids, 16 & 11, took such good care of the house and me.. they felt special to be able to help me so much. They'll do great too
