Hello Billy ~

It's only Monday evening. You have plenty of time to make many more posts!! Oh, I see...you are going to be with your family and they will probably find ways to keep you occupied. Well, you see...the point of all this anguish is that by the time you get to Wednesday, you will be so looking forward to this surgery that you will go skipping and dancing into the operating holding area!! They won't even have to put you on a cart and wheel you in. People will see you and wonder who's going to the party and they will be jealous when they find out it is YOU !! :dizzy:

No, seriously, Billy, it will be great to have your family to distract you a little bit, and I was serious about the rest. I got to the point that I became very calm a day or two before my surgery. I felt that I had done everything I could to prepare myself, including choosing a very good surgeon and I was eager to get it over with. I was calm on the day of surgery, even thought I ended up having to wait hours longer than had been scheduled. I would not normally describe myself as a calm person, so I don't know where this calm came from, but it was lovely.

You too are in the position I was in. You have prepared yourself for your surgery, as best you can. You have asked many questions, and are now ready to get it over....I know you too will feel that wonderful sense of readiness and eagerness to have it behind you. And in a matter of mere days, you will be back on here posting a whole new bunch of questions -- and before you know it, six weeks will have flown by, like it has for me, and you'll be wondering where has the time gone!!

I know you'll do great, Billy. Don't be afraid to ask for help at the hospital if you need it. If you start feeling a little bit anxious, just think about all your frienRAB here on the board who are thinking about you, lifting you up in prayer.
You will know you are not alone. :angel:

Blessings ~

Hey Billy Boy I am so glad you got my message and I know everything is going to go well with you and it sounRAB like you have such a great family. We sure need the support of family to get through this. Sorry you are in pain today but we can both share that for each other today. You sound like you have everything under control and my prayers are with you. I know you are ready and content with your decision but there is always anxiety with any surgery so I want you to know we are all with you so just remeraber that.

Take care and talk to you soon.

Linda
 
Again, my heart and prayers go out to you, Billy...Stay calm and get plenty of rest for your "big day." I know you are probably excited right now and hope that you will get plenty of peaceful rest tonight. I pray that you will have a successful surgery and a quick and pain-free recovery. Take care of yourself!
 
BAYBREEZE - - It's funny you say this , because i am in alot of pain today... I think my body knows my surgery is coming , and is tenseing up a little bit.. I appreciate your kind worRAB - I will not be doing any walking to the hosp. , my ride {mumz} will be droping me off right in front of the front doors.. I can barely walk as well breeze , i have a bad limp on my right side - - can't feel my right foot or thigh so walking is a challange !!

I will speak with all of you in about a week or so - - god bless & thank you.

Hugs and prayers are being sent your way. I will be praying through the day and until I hear that all is well. Blessings to you and your family.
 
Deviphish 76..

I just went thru surgery 12 days ago.. (posterior luraber fusion L3-L4 and decompression w/ bone graft) I too was very nervous...but as MM says as you go thru the process you will find that you are so glad you made the decision to seek relief...and a certain calmness and resolve comes over you and you should feel confident you selected the right surgeon and you must let go....take deep breaths and think positively...

You will meet others, perhaps your roomate in hospital going thru the same thing.....Your family and frienRAB will be a tremendous support and remeraber they are there for you...routing for you.............

All the best you remain in our prayers...Before you know it you'll be posting that you are so glad it's over and on to recovery...

Warm regarRAB,

LAF:angel:

Billy Boy,
I hope I am not too late to wish you Good Luck and better days ahead. I sort of had a rough day yesterday and got on the site later today then I wanted to.

I know things will go well for you and your family will take wonderful care of you also. I know you will get back to us as soon as possible.

I will miss talking to you within the next few days but I know your surgeon is also taking care of you.

You are in my prayers always.

Take care and hopefully pain free and we will talk again when things are better for you.

Love Ya and in my prayers
Linda
 
And yes............Marlos Mom..........you are the BEST and really helped me a great deal getting thru...

All the best.
