Tonight is the night before my hysterectomy ...I think all will be ok ..Just want it all over .... this is going to be my 5th time under anesthesia in 8months . UGHH not so good, Not to mention my stroke history and bleeding disorder so i am feeling a little anxiety .
The whole IV thing FREAKS me out as the poke me 5 times cus they can't find a place and I am sooo sooo paranoid to wake up nasuea. I just need to write down my fears and I figured what better place then to the most caring and comapssionate people in the world.
I should be home in a day or two and I look forward to hearing more good news from all of you

Good luck tomorrow, you'll be fine and feel better in no time. It's what we mommmy's do best you know! Tell them that you get sick to your stomach after anesthesia. I do and they load me up on anti-nausea drugs before the anesthesia and afterwards. I never have trouble with it anymore.
Thinking of you tomorrow!

Just read your post tonight...hope all went well. Try to rest a bit when you get home--I imagine you are laughing and rolling your eyes, seriously, if anyone calls to ask for a favor or for you to do anything, it really is ok to say no.
Take care,
