My surgery is tomorrow also and I'm nervous, too. I've just kept frenetically busy all week preparing and also doing some fun stuff. We installed a wood stove and I spent a lot of time getting wood etc., so this way I can think about coming home to a cozy fire instead of worrying.

Good luck holly! Your gonna do great!

Perfectly normal to be scared. Your surgeon has done this a lot and has seen everything, so not to worry. My surgery was very easy, minimal pain after waking. Nausea only when I took morphine so stuck to tylenol. Walking day one. Stopped pain med day two. By end of week one, it didn't even feel like I'd had surgery. Only discomfort was the drain and once that was out it was smooth sailing. You wil do great and wish you all the best.

Just curious, what drain? This is the first time I heard of a drain. What is it for and how long did you have it?
