The waiting works BUT surgery works better!!!!
Tanya i know how you feel,believe me.
The wait for me can be emotionally draining.The time between tests i had in Sept to my second stage of waiting.
It sure has given me time to adjust to a 2nd sugery this wait.
I'm fortunate i keep myself busy with whatever i can and try and surround yourself with everything positive,get rid of all those negative thoughts.
Waitings tuff to deal with but i have a strong family connection and support from friends and family has done me good.I try and keep a strong and open mind otherwise it would drive me nuts and believe me there were afew days i fell off the band wagon too.I always when it gets bad try and think of all the people waiting for organ donations,theres so many waiting o my goodness,this has to be 100% worse than where i sit for valve surgery.
As far as keeping busy anything to keep my mind off and thats where i surround myself with positive thinking,i steal my grandaughter alot from my daughter,this sure works for me (lol) and kids never worry about surgery they believe one way the truth its all going to turn out fine and i luv my 9 yearold grandaughters additude.My family doc is very supportive also and i just keep strutting the wait through each day,i'm not sure how but i do,but i have to keep occupied and my mind busy like you.Surgery for me is a question of timing on the surgeon in alberta and all i can do is continue to busy myself.
Yes waiting is worse than surgery for all of us i feel .
Tanya i send you and your family all the best with surgery and you
will all do fine and once you leave tomorrow you will keep occupied
getting ready for surgery and it will be great to have it done .
i am high risk surgery and i know you will do good and so will i.
Take Care (((HUGS)))
