10 days and counting

Penny,
I am thinking back on my the time before my surgery and it did in fact crawl by. So my advise to you to help keep your mind occupied is to have friends and family close by. Go as a group to a funny movie. Have a family game night (we play Bingo at a quarter a card and it gets downright cut-throat). Get you hair cut as cute and short as you can stand it (easier to take care of later). Have a manicure and pedicure cause it might be a task reaching your pinkies after the surgery. If you think it appeals to you get an MP3 player thing and load it down with your favorite songs so you can listen as you rest your body after the big day. But above all remember that you have friends here who will be praying for you before, during and after your heart mending experience.

Luana, I have been very busy, got a hair cut, spending time with my daughter & son in law and son and daughter in law. It has helped with passing the time. Got a list of things to do today including going and buying an air conditioner. The weather here is gorgeous but I have decided I need to be as comfortable as can be when I get out so that is high priority on the to do list. I have to go into the hospital the day prior. I have had all my tests completed so now it is just waiting for monday and then tuesday is the grand finale. I am stressed today but know I just need to get up and get busy.. so I am off take care!

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery.. it'll be here and done before you know it.. best advice is try to stay busy right now and keep your mind as much as you can off of surgery... I remember going to the ER several times pre-surgery and I think they were mostly anxiety attacks from worrying about surgery.. keep us updated!

Penny,

You are almost there! We will all be waiting for you with open arms on the other side of the mountain. As others said, keep busy and do some nice things for yourself.
