Stressing the heck out. Here for my all day pre-op informational and the girl at the front desk is so awful I want to leave. Not the type of support I was hoping for. Ugggg. Sorry to vent, but I think I feel I deserve a smile or a greeting on one of the most stressful decisions I've ever made.

Ignore her and remeber why your there.

Try to think "I wonder why she is so nasty?" Some possibilities would be: an ill child she can't attend, dying mother, can't afford my rent this month, flat tire on the way to work...we all go through it, have those bad days. Cheer her up with a smile, a " how's it going" question. You'd be surprised at how just a simple concern can change one's demeanor.

Exactly, it's her issue, don't allow her to make it yours. The meaner she is the kinder you become. She has to live with the issues, you get to go home at the end of the day. Pray for her. :-)

I had my prep today too!!! When's your surgery? I'm going in on the 30th. Sooooooo scared I can't even stand it!! Afraid I will die on the table (cuz you know the 150 extra pounds isn't killing me ) it is a super stressful time but we will both come out the other side all the better for it!!!

Best of luck to you!!!
