surgery on wednesday

I am having my deviated septum fixed Wednesday. Wish me luck. I have been taking medication before the surgery to prepare and its been reaally taking a toll on my mental health but I am hanging in there. Glad to not have to worry about my stbxah and taking care of me.
The medication has been making me have very vivid dreams about my stbxah. Its been brutal and I want the dreams to go away!!

Hugs
Lulu

Wishing you a perfect outcome to the surgery, with a pain free and speedy recovery.

Good grief, what a ghastly thought....having to take medication that gives you nightmares of your stbxah........UGH.

All the best from one patient to another.

God bless

It should be illegal to deprive folks of their coffee, impending surgery or not!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, my dear! :ghug3

you did it for the safety of others!

my sister had this surgery lulu when she was about your age (early 30's?) and her life improved 100% because she could sleep. her snoring would wake her up. i know everything will go well.

Thanks Beth...I am hoping for the same result as your sister!! I am so glad to hear it helped. A few people have said it only lasts a year and then becomes deviated again and that freaked me out. Dont want to go thru this to only last a year!

This made me feel a lot better!!

Hugs.
