Hi everyone-
I can't believe my surgery is less than 2 weeks away! I made the decision to have surgery back in November and it's been such a long wait. Can't believe it is now so close! I go through moments of calmness and then feel terrified at other times. I am especially nervous because I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old at home. I'm not sure how they are going to do while I'm in the hospital for 4-7 days. They've never been away from me overnight.
I have been reading all of your posts about 3 times a day since November and have to say I have learned so much from everyone's experiences. There is such great support on this forum. I don't know if I would have ever had the courage to do the surgery if it wasn't from reading everyone's posts.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone! This is such a great forum. I'm sure I will be posting alot more over the next 2 weeks.
Just finished donating my 2 pints of blood over the past 2 weeks and did all my pre-op appointments. I see Dr. Boachie next week for a final visit. I feel as if I am in the best of hands. He is a great doctor and the Hospital for Special Surgery has such a great reputation!
I am getting ready to pack for my hospital stay and have to go back and read everyone's posts about what to bring. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
JenM
