    Default Countdown is ON and my anxiety is up

    My surgery is Sunday. I am on my pre-op diet. I am not nervous about the surgery, rather nervous about every thing else. Home getting dirty while I'm gone, being away from the kids, being off of work, returning to work, finances...and the list goes on and on. Am I the only one with odd concerns as THE date approaches?

    Thank you. Guess I will be nervous until it's over.

    Default Re: Countdown is ON and my anxiety is up

    You're not the only one, my mind was on other things too. I was not nervous at all about the surgery, just the things around it. (Time off work, finances, etc) Unfortunately for me, my position of 16 years at work was eliminated (Along with 72 other people) 2 days ago. My last day will be Nov 27th. Although this means I have more financial concerns to come, I am thankful that I had my surgery BEFORE that happened. My next challenge will apparently be the search for new work!

    Of course you're a bundle of nerves before surgery. It's a big deal having to worry about how everything that you're usually responsible for is going to get done. However, look on the bright side... The dirtier your house gets while you're recovering just means lots of weight losing exercise you'll get cleaning it all back up when you're feeling better ;-) It'll all be fine. Best of luck to you!

    Firebreak, so sorry to hear about your job, but just think how snazzy you're going to be looking to go out searching for that new job. Get your swagger on, and go capture the best damn job there is to be had out there for you. Good luck!

    Katrina, you are so positive! What a bright light. You are so right. I will work off the weight cleaning up after my crew.

    Firebreak, you have a fresh start in many areas. Wishing you the best. I'm glad to know someone else was worried about all the other stuff.
