With a week from today coming fast (never thought I would say that) I had my first meltdown. I keep trying to do deep breaths and take myself to a more relaxed state but I just couldn't today.
I have made all the arrangements. My adult children are combining a Minnesota Wild game and some other vacationing things before surgery so I feel better about them leaving their jobs to sit with me.
I am a mature adult woman (60 but not old)--have had this surgery before while on life support so this time should be cake---have not checked Dr. Google for mortality rate (but want to) and am just beside myself. And to top it off...........I feel like I don't want anyone seeing me looking all bad after surgery. What a day.
Tell me this is some kind of normal?
