Lynette:
Please don't appologize for whining, I broke down in the nail salon yesterday. No reason at all, just sitting there having my last manicure and pedicure for quite a while and ....lost it! It happened periodically throughout the day and I suspect it will today also.
I feel that I am about to lose all control for several weeks and that scares the bejeebers out of me. But my husband insists everything will get done. He is very calm and does not make plans, which is even more annoying, but I have to let him handle things his way. Sure enough, it does get done, which is also very annoying. We are the type who try to handle things with humor, which in the long run seems to work for us.
My oldest son also finally broke down last night. He is scared about not being with me and we had a long talk. It is so hard to be strong for him, reassuring, yet honest. I told him he will not be able to see me for a couple of days, because the Dr. will "keep me sleeping" so that I will be more comfortable. I just keep trying to reasure him that all this will be for the best and that I am being helped and I don't have a desease it is just a condition that the Dr. is fixing.
He is out of school, so we are spening the day together, he is helping me prepare. I think that will help.
So, Lynette, don't feel alone. Your feelings are validated! Cry when you have to, laugh if you can. We will get though it. I think the anticipation is the worst. I just want to tomorrow to get here and get this over with, as they say, we must face our fears.
Thanks for helping me through this and I will you. Same to you Laura, I will be thinking of you both as they wheel me in. No one I can talk to right now knows like you do what we feel.
Have a good day, check in.
