A part of me wishes they ...A, I feel the same way. A part of me wishes they would have taken care of it when I was in the hospital. The waiting is hard. My imagination suddenly became very colorful at a time when I wish it wouldn't be. <br /><br />Kristen, you are so smart. Those are the exact things they mention doing on the ACHD website when preparing for OHS. I'm having all of my pre-op appointments on Monday so I'll talk to them about my fears and worries. Waking up intubated is a huge issue for me. Maybe because of how Pam died. I'm not sure. Whatever the reason most of my fears center around that. <br /><br />Kelli, the surgery is set for May 4th.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521088520231972617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259322.post-57172256114244826272009-04-16T09:43:00.000-07:002009-04-16T09:43:00.000-07:00When exactly is your surgery?When exactly is your surgery?Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387796404351612968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259322.post-76558846082740837372009-04-15T19:56:00.001-07:002009-04-15T19:56:00.001-07:00He weighs more than Alyssa. :) She loves the curta...He weighs more than Alyssa. :) She loves the curtain game, too.<br /><br />Is there anything you can do to make some of the fears more manageable? Sort of a "plan of action"? I'm not sure if this makes sense. I remember going into the hospital to have A, my doula had a list of things that bothered me that I didn't want because of fears that I had (didn't want to be strapped down in any way, etc). She was my "spokesperson" in case things got out of control. Is there a person who could do something like this for you (or someone who just be there with you who knows your "triggers")? <br /><br />Or could you make a plan that includes some things that might help, like having a pad of paper nearby so you can communicate easily? Maybe make sure you have some familiar things (pictures of Erin and Hay Hay, your favorite lotion and chapstick...) for after the surgery...<br /><br />Just some suggestions from someone who loves you, but feel free to scrap everything I just typed if it doesn't help.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298517565254413222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259322.post-5039745839536309662009-04-15T19:56:00.000-07:002009-04-15T19:56:00.000-07:00I wish it was already over and done and you were b...I wish it was already over and done and you were busy getting on with your life. so, so sorry you have to go thru this :(aolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434882980698530258noreply@blogger.com
