Getting nervous...

randinicholle · Jul 5, 2011

Hi all! I am having my AVR on Thursday, tomorrow is my pre-op day of clinic, and I am just about as nervous as I can get...I have been anticipating this day for all of my 32 years, so I can't tell if I'm excited or actually really scared...Wish me luck, I will keep you all posted when I'm on the "other" side...

I remember being more nervous than usual (I'm not normally at all) 2 days prior, but the day before and morning of, I was eager and ready to get it over with. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good luck! Like ElectLive indicated, I was a bit nervous leading up to it, but it seemed once I was there the nerves were relieved and I just wanted to get it done with.

Sending positive thoughts and lots of prayers. Hope that your surgery and recovery are complication free. See you on the other side.

May you have nice doctors and nurses, and may you recover easily and fast! I was not nervous until the day of my surgery, at 5am I noticed my hands were a little shaky. But, then they have you shower and keep you busy until you are drugged for the trip to the surgery room. I have only seen that room once, and I found it facinating. Nothing like what I thought it would look like.

Hi there! I remember the day before my surgery, they gave me a little pill to help me sleep. The next day was my surgery and was kinda excited??? Its 2 weeks today and the only thing that i battle everyday is sleeping through the night! See you on the other side!
