Holy large crap.............9 days until I am operated on............HELP ME!!!!! LOL. Actually, I am fine. I have been thinking about this day for 2 years. I found out I can have regional anesthesia...so I am less stressed about it. That means...I can be awake (sort of) and not have any clue as to what is happening around me. I asked the doctor if I'll be able to hear the "saw" and he just laughed. He said I won't even know or remember a thing. I'm not really sure he answered my question, but I just hope they get it right with the meds. I've had 4 c-sections (spinals) and arthoscopic surgery (general for that)........you'd think this would not be such a big deal to me....but I always think the worst. I am trying to go to my "happy place" right now and I'm not getting there...lol.
Gots to go now!

Do NOT always think the worst. Think the best, for that becomes the lens you view the world through. I know, sometimes much easier said than done, but when I am able to apply it, I know it really does make everything happier and smoother. Wishing you all the best!!
ReplyDeletewith your anesthesia they will give you a drug named versed that will make sure you don't remember anything. i hope you get some great nurses - that will make all the difference. it's normal and good to have some anxiety regarding major surgery, just remember that this is a surgery they do regularly...i've had 3 surgeries and i just finished my first semester of my RN program. take care, cindy
