Now you have a few weeks to prepare yourself, and start planning for your recovery at home. It will all be over before you know it. Most everyone feels a strange sense of calmness immediately before the surgery, and I'm sure you will as well. Read as many of the pre-op forums as you can and absorb as much as possible. It's amzing how much easier everything is in the hospital when you know what to expect, and you can also impress your nursing staff! You'll do just fine, and you should be up and around and ready to enjoy an especially Blessed Thanksgiving.
