Well, I’m still waited my got my arm surgery having rescheduled once. I’m going in on February 14 I think if I make it! I’ve called the doctors office four times trying to get resssurance that everything is going to be okay. They sounded pretty frustrated last time I called. I’ve scheduled another pre-op with the doctor and I feel like a psycho mess having to get so much assurance. My history of isolation and the fear that I really need somebody right now is crushing me like a vice. If I don’t have this surgery I might be a cripple - it’s such a cruel choice. All I can see is me laying in a bed with a huge cast not able to move - a bit dramatic I hope!!!!! Anyway this is a ****ing mess 🤓🤓🤓 thanks for listening!!!!!

My gp has been bugging me to get my eyes checked, my boobs checked, my bones checked, my butt checked - i keep putting him off. Finally i sat down last week to make appointments.

I started with the easiest one. It said, high call volume, try online. I tried online. I used to be a computer programmer, but i couldnt figure out htf to request an appointment online! That was it, i was done!!!

The next day, i tried again, bing bang boom, im all scheduled up. I surprised myself! But - if we gotta take all the blame, hey, we also get all the credit

I have had many surgeries, been fearful each time. I think it’s a normal reaction.

Good thinking of hiring a nurse.

You will do fine

The last surgery I had was emergency surgery for kidney stones. When I signed the consent form I was beyond high on painkillers. When I went home is when the anxiety hit. I felt sick and stressed out and upset that I consented. I was questioning whether my consent was legal and such.

It was in a different order than your anxiety/surgery, but I do get it. Hugs.
Thanks for this!
