Anyone dreading being alone in hospital?

Surgery is next Thursday and I'm mentally prepping myself. I've already reminded my husband twice to bring our 2 boys to visit me as I will be there minimum 2 nights. I will especially miss my baby (2 yrs), my oldest (9) is pretty independent but ill miss him too. I am a pretty busy fulltime working mom so I really need to take those 2 days to rest before I get home.

Also, my last 2 overnight hospital experiences were when I had my boys. It felt great and I was full of joy. But This..... feels soooo different for me...almost like a "How did I get myself here" feeling. not so much happy but I know I should be.

Just wondering what everyone's feelings are right now prior to surgery.

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, I don't have family here and my husbands family works so we dont have anyone to keep the kids. This is a very new, beautiful facility. There is a large family area with computers, play area an such. Come to think of it I really wish this werent our situation, Feeling aside, Id rather them not come either....especially the littlest one..my oldest has already seen me in the hospital (when i had c-section) so he's ok....but my little guy will want me to hold him. We'll see how it goes but I may just end up telling hubby to drop me off at the front door on surgery morning then just go back home. Dr.s will be in touch. Cant believe Im saying that, Im already terrified, but maybe its for the better of the kids. Also, their Nana will probably be able to keep them on saturday (her off day) which is hopefully the day I get to go home!!!
