I think it is normal having had a major surgery so soon after the DS. Think of the good benefits, like the uterus will be gone so it can't be a problem later. The hernia will be gone so no more pain. If I remember right your doing the TT also so the benefits are obvious there. Think good thoughts and vent here as needed. I had an anxiety attack a weeks or 2 before my TT. It was related to meds but the anxiety was a factor. I got it in my head that I was going to die in surgery and not live till my 40th birthday in October. Anxiety is normal with any surgery. And your having a lot of reason for anxiety. I had to stop and make myself think that the was no use in worrying about the what ifs and waiting and seeing what the actual reality is. Big hugs.......

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Lilyen... slow down... take a deep breath. No... take five deep breaths! This is the right time for the surgery. You are in our prayers and I believe God holds you in the hollow of His hand. Anxiety is normal, so don't stress over that you are having stress! Sometimes organizing something can be calming. Don't take on a big project like a closet... open up the silverware drawer and reorganize the stainless ware. Buy/rent a silly movie! Treat yourself to a bubble bath... or some treat you enjoy. Have a small glass of wine.... or buy yourself some gourmet tea and enjoy a visit with someone who makes you smile. Elle LILYEN WOULD LIKE PRAYER For some reason this week has been so stressful for me. I wasn't this nervous when I got my D.S. two years ago...I am now though. I would sure like it if you guys stuck me in your prayer pockets.now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Lilyen, You most certainly have my prayers. Sometimes thing are not what they seem. For the last few weeks I was worried about a pain in my lower pelvic area on the right side. I had my right tube removed in 2004 because it was severely twisted, damaged, full of fluid, and had peritineal (sp?) cysts coming out of it. I was so afraid that it was something serious and that I was going to lose all of my " equiptment " before I got to even use it! Then someone started talking about kidney stones and it hit me like a rock! I have been drinking more tea lately. My D level was just declared low and I had to start on ADEKs and I haven't been drinking as much water as I had when it was warmer. BUSTED. I got with the program, increased my calcium, water, and D (ADEKs) and have only had tea once this week (and I took calcium/Tums when I did that). I feel sooooo much better. We love you!

I know I felt the same way with my second surgery. When we had the DS - we were ready to do anything it took to get our lives back. Anything. Now we (for the most part) feel great and dont want to give up any time it will take to heal, as we have gotten our lives back and arent so ready to give it up. Lilyen, this is just my take on it. You need the hernia surgery and the hysterectomy. You will have the prayers of all of us, I will be saying special prayers for peace and healing. You will do great, remember, this too shall pass and you are going to feel even better on the other side of this surgery..... prayers for your peace in your heart, and for healing of your body, Sharon in Onyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
