Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hello Ladies Well, it's down to the count to my myo on Monday May 17th. To be honest, I'm nervous, anxious & excited all at once. The pre-admission appt was ok then as I'm telling the nurse I have my period (figures!), I just broke down crying. I guess all the emotions came out at that time - what am I doing, do I need to be doing this etc etc. Just thinking about walking down the hallway in the lovely open at the back gown, hoping I will be able to have underwear on so I don't bleed all over myself just made me think of the total loss of dignity. I have never been in a hospital (as a patient), never had anaesthetic, never had an IV, never had a catheter, have never been on antibiotics, never had to do " bowel prep " so the whole process scares the living daylights out of me. Thanks to this wonderful group, I know that the waiting is the hardest part & that it's totally worth it in the end. I have read all the posts on what to bring to the hospital which helps. I have a portable DVD player that I'm going to try & sneak in so I'm not bored stiff all day & I can catch up on my movie watching. If anyone has any tips to a speedy recovery - I would welcome them. I know that everyone recovers differently but any assurance will be helpful. Thanks again to this wonderful group!!!!!
