Surgery in less then 24 hours

Surgery is tomorrow at 7 am. I have been crying for hours and hours. I don't know if I'm scared or having second thoughts? Has anyone felt this way? Sitting in the lobby of my hotel debating to check in or dash back to my car :(

I don't know what to say.

I've yet to have my surgery, but I'm sure I'll have lots of conflicted feels leading up to it.

I only know that I'm doing it to help me get to where I want to be......and to help me stay there for the rest of my life. I think that if I keep that in mind things will remain more clear.

I hope that you are able to gain total clarity and get in touch with why you want to have the surgery and what you believe the benefits will be in your life.

The night before any type of surgery is nerve-racking.....I assure you.

i remember being antsy as hell the night before I had an ankle tendon repaired. I had an awesome surgeon and things were fairly textbook leading up to it. I was worked up for no reason whatsoever.

Surgery is not something we have every day......and can get us weirded out.

Beachbum- praying that you find the answers you need deep in your heart and awake with calm and confidence! I look forward to hearing how well things go tomorrow, and even better, a month from now!
