Paralyzed by Anticipation

[clevergirl 41]

My surgery is April 17.

I am having trouble concentrating on things that I need to do (particularly at work) to prepare for a two week absence. I start one thing and then move to the next before the first is complete and then am paralyzed by what all needs to be done so I end up doing nothing.

Same at home. I just want to come home and go to sleep.

Anyone else feeling these types of "paralysis"?

Felt the same way. Surgery April 25th. I'm using my daily planner on my phone and I put together a shopping list on memo pad. It's help me focus more.

I feel the same. Surgery is April 12th and I have so much to do, but feel like I can't focus on anything.

Deep breath and remember: you've done hard things before and succeeded, and you will succeed this time as well.

Yup. I just got my surgery date, and am amazed at how frightening it was to actually get a date. More real than actually "Getting the VSG sometime in the future." More emotions to feel and process!
