Its 5.50am now and I have hardly slept a wink. Had feelings of regret last night and questioned if I am doing the right thing. I am scared and nervous.
Surgery is at 7.45....so so nervous.

I got the phone call from the surgeon and the hospital today. Told to get things ready and be at the hospital at 7.45 am next Wednesday. Its going to be a overnight stay so I should be home by Thursday morning. I got so scared that I telephoned my anaesthetist and asked if there was any pain meds that I should buy in advance to prepare for the post-op and she basically said that I will be well taken care of and should not worry.

I can't help it not worrying...

The anxiety before surgery is really the scariest part ... once it's over it's over ..and recovery can begin. Once you get to the other side, it's hard to remember how scared you were in the first place. :) Good luck on the big day!!! Look forward to seeing updates :)

Thank you so much for your support. I think right now, its mixed emotions for me. Am I going to cope with the pain? How bout the drains? So many questions in my head... This is definitely a roller coaster...
