Katybug Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 So the big day for my neck surgery is Tuesday. I'm terrified but I know it's the right decision. I just have laundry and packing a bag to do tomorrow so I at least feel prepared and organized on the outside (even if panick is setting in on the inside!) :-) My dad flies in tomorrow to be with me. I'm staying at my Mom's the first 2 weeks after surgery. My friends have been rallying around me. And my furry, four-legged nurses have several people who will be helping to care for them while they comfort me. I guess all there is now is the thing itself.

gjensen Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Katie, I will think of you while on my trip to Mayo Tuesday. I will look forward to hearing how it went. I like to hear that you have the support that you do. Even from your fuzzy friends. I wish that you were not terrified. Wish that I could say something that would change that. At least wait until Tuesday. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
