Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi and , My prays and good thoughts are with you as well. I am trying to be positive, but as the time get closer the anxiety gets worse. I am having trouble concentrating at work. My mind drift to the surgery. I guess its normal.I think what makes these pre jitters so nerve racking for me is all these people that are telling me they dont see anything wrong in my appearance and dont think I should do it. Do you guys every notice how people cringe when you tell them about what u are about to do. Last night I was at a party and I was telling everyone about the surgery, you cant say I am not the life of the party . I even met a guy I really liked, that I have a date with tonight. What a time to start a relationship. They all telling me they dont see anything wrong with my jaw. I look good now why wd I want to mess with it. I guess I have to keep reminding myself I am not doing this for astheic purposes. My belief spirituality at least for me does help with the anxiety. The mess I went through to get to a Dr. who I have total confidence in. ( long story), the wrong Dr. cd have been a disaster, the fact that my insurance and my home eqity loan came through just in time to help pay for my surgery and time away from work,I believe were meant to be. I think you do get help that leads you in the right direction. My boyfriend ended the relationship just before surgery, which shows how much he cares. Good ridance I deserve better. Thanks to Smoochie for all the great advice and comforting thoughs from someone who has been there. Everyone thing u said make a lot of sense. Ur right about taking a shower and just getting out if u can, does make u feel better when ur recovering in general. Ladies I will be right there with you to bitch about the recovery and offer whatever help I can. I wish the best. To Fiddlesticks, can you tell more about I think it is call MLS. What exactly is it. I was thinking of also doing accupunture as well have you heard anything good about that helping with recovery. I wd like to ask my Dr. about it.
