Surgery Tomorrow Morning.. VERY nervous

I am not particularly a stranger to the operating room and I don't recall ever feeling this nervous. Things are flying around in my head and just won't stop, if I could sum it up I have a lot of anxiety and found it very tough to get to sleep last night.. ended up online till 1 in the morning.

I have been cleaning the house all day off and on, we stocked up yesterday. I have the following list, in case it is useful to anyone else:

1. Prune juice

2. Cream Soups

3. broth

4. Protein shakes

5. Drinkable Yogurt

6. Chewable Vitamins

7. Chewable Calcium + Vit D

8. Pill box so that I can put all my pills in the dosage my surgeon wants before I go in.

9. 2 new Pillows to give me extra support in bed so that I can sleep sitting up if I have to.

10. A body pillow.

11. Pure indulgence.. a mini lavender bean bag bunny to squeeze and snuggle.

12. Spring Water

Sooooo.. I guess tomorrow.. over to post op.

I was very nervous too, but you'll find that the surgery itself will go by quick. I was in and out in 3 hours.

Your list seems good, sums up my last 4 days. The day I came home on Wednesday, I had a very achy left shoulder and used a heat pad overnight worked great and the pain only lasted one day.

Good luck tomorrow.

Good Luck tomorrow.... Keep us posted..

LUCK!! The surgery is a piece of cake. It's the rest of it ... ;)
We'll see you on the flip side.
