Surgery Anxiety

Hello,

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I am finishing up my 17th day without alcohol, and trying to read a book and fall asleep, but I am anxious about tomorrow.

I have a surgery scheduled for issues I have been having with my heart. The good news is that it is supposed to fix the issues, however, I am scared about going under anesthesia, and also about the surgeon working on my heart.

Please send some prayers and good wishes my way that things go well tomorrow.


❤️Delilah

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I just had surgery myself. The surgery itself was a breeze.

You're in my thoughts.

They do preadmission testing to make sure you're OK to be put under and all that.

Send you prayers and best wishes Delilah

I'm sure you'll be OK tho - heart procedures are very very common & routine these days

Keep us updated when you can.

Glad you've relaxed a little. Anticipating something can be the worst part.
Nice job on 17 days!
