Today is the big day

I've been fine this whole journey (psych eval,special test and etc) but when I dropped off my son at my parents he's 3 it finally hit me I'm having surgery today at 11am and I'm so nervous not nervous because of the recovery but nervous that it will take me a while before I can pick up my toddler and that is killing me even though he's pretty independant for a 3 Yr old he still likes me to carry him like a baby to his bed im just a ball of emotions right now

It sounds like jitters are hitting. I'm going to be the same way, I'm sure.

You'll be back with him in no time.

Let us know how it's going.

Good thoughts and all that, ok!

hey I'm doing pretty good thank god! My doctor said I could start off soft foods this weekend so I'm adjusting to that. So far so good I just have to get used to taking smaller bites and no big gulps because then I start balling with a tummy ache. Ty for asking how are you doing?
