The pre op is just to meet with a nurse and the tech who administers the happy sleepy drugs, they take some blood work blood pressure to ensure I'm up to surgery. As long as I don't have to bend over that's not so bad.
I feel terrible when I hear what people go thru with sick kids it does make u more thankful for your own even when they're being difficult! I have two girls, 2 and 8 and a sixteen yr old boy. There have been some close calls that can b scary but a disease takes away any illusion of control u have.
I know how u feel when u say u feel selfish, my mother in law has breast cancer and is having a full mastctomy next Monday and my sister in law, who is blind, is being induced two weeks early on Friday so our mother in law can hold the baby before her surgery. I feel bad for my whining whenever I think of everything going on right now.
I'm glad u got over your flu and I hope your surgery goes well, I've been reading all the old threads too and I'm still a month away! I'm scared too but more afraid of never getting my life back!
