I know how nervous you are! I was so nervouse until i was knocked out! You'll be just fine, just dont give into to all the crazy thoughts you can have before surgery... I stay at home with my kids, and I feel like I need at least 5 days before i can be left alone with them. My youngest is 2 and im not looking forward to Monday when i have to be mommy again without my husband around!

My big day is the 25th, and I know exactly how you feel. :wub:

One day I'm fine, the next I'm a nervous wreck! I just want you (and everyone else) to know that I am thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery. I just love popping my head in here! Everyone is such an encouragement to me. I have a feeling that's why you are here too. This place is a great support group!

So hang in there and know that what you're going through is what everyone else has, or is, going through too. That seems to help me.

BTW: Today is my "what the hell am I doing!" day. :thumbup:

Breathe 2..3...4...Breathe..2..3...4...

I was banded 8/10 and how much time I have to take off is still up in the air - but I have a different job situation than most. I am a long haul truck driver, so I have to wait until I can have a clean drug test and "official" doctor release for my safety department in order to start driving again. Also, I have to be able to climb in and out of my truck, strap cargo, and handle the rougher ride of a semi truck 11 hours a day, plus sleeping in a moving truck with my hubby drives. We are thinking 3 weeks, but today I am feeling 2 is going to be plenty. My hubby went back to work Friday and he will stay out on the road until I am ready get back on the truck, so it is flexible. I think by 3 weeks I will be going stir crazy. If I had a desk job, I would be back at work, so if that is your job, hopefully a week off will be good.

Good Luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
