Starting To Freak

My lab work is done, I have given my medical history and I 32 hours away from my surgery. I know that it is a minor, routine surgery, but I am still freaking a little. I am freaking about being put under, about doing/saying something stupid while under anesthesia, about what they will find. I am just a freak.

I have had a rough couple of days. My great Aunt passed away. I was supposed to sing at her funeral, but the funeral is tomorrow...in KS. No way I could go and be back for my surgery. So my sister flew home and is going to be singing with my mom. I am sad that I can't be there, but I need to do this and I can't put it off.

A very dear family friend of Pace's passed away this weekend. The poor man had been battling cancer for a few years now. It was awful what he had to go through and I am so thankful his pain is over.

I had a fantastic weekend with my husband. We played Playstation 3, we wrestled, tickled, laughed, watched lots of football and just enjoyed each other. I love it when we enjoy each other like that.

Here are a few pics from our New Years trip. I will update you all on my surgery as quickly as I can.

I had lap surgery on Nov 6 and like you was freaking out before the surgery...but I found out the surgery itself was the easy part!! I don't remember a thing once they gave me the good stuff!
Recovery is what was so bad for me - and really looking back it was ALL WORTH IT because I had endo and now it is gone!!!
The air pain was the worst after surgery. Use heating pads where it hurts (my shoulders really hurt from the air pain) but the heating pad became my best friend.
Eager to hear how it went! Praying for you today.

keep calm and carry on... said...

you'll do great - i read your blog and other infertility blogs often... i am so glad i found them as i thought i was the only one going through all these things!...
actually just had the hysteroscopy/lap this past friday. hardest part now is just moving from the incisions!

you are in my thoughts and prayers for a good surgery and recovery!

I'm so sorry to hear of the losses. That's a heartbreak, whether the loved one is old, young, sick, healthy.

Surgery can be scary, but I know you will be fine, I am praying, praying, praying.

Try to enjoy the anesthesia! Looking forward to an update.
