Absolutely miserable

WORTH IT$7,300
I just had a good cry. I'm not in pain. I just can not get comfortable. I want to take a nap, but can't. I can sleep at night but only because of the ambien. I'm so sick of this. I'd give anything to hit the fast forward button. I knew this would this would be hard but you really can't prepare. One drain removed yesterday and have to wait until Thursday for the other. I'm so down right now that I'm not even looking forward to seeing the results.

Glad to hear you are doing well!
I'm glad you are doing well. Definitely have seine help you in and out if bed. I didn't allow my husband to do all the work getting me into bed the second day and felt like my insides were going to tear apart from using my abdominals to soon. Keep taking it easy. Happy healing :)

Starting to get anxious...

Wow...I've been reading about emotional highs and lows following surgery, but it looks like I'm starting early. I am 8 days preop and I am a bundle of nerves. I was fine until last night when my husband threw a "monkey wrench" in some of my plans then I lost it. Cried like a baby for no reason. I think I have everything I need all planned out now so nothing to do but wait.
