getting nervous/surgery is November 5th
I am having my surgery on November 5th. I feel very well informed,
and I know that this is the right thing for me to do. Over the past
week I have become nervous about the recovery period. I am a Mom and
all you other Moms out there know that “the Mom can not get sick”. My
biggest worry about the whole surgery thing is that my family will
fall to pieces if I am not super woman once I get home. My husband is
wonderful about helping ME but he falls apart when it comes to the
kids. (he is their step dad) I have a Mom and sister in town but they
have very busy lives. They said they will help with as much as they
can, but they have to keep doing thier things. I know that I can just
let the house go for a while, and have some meals prepared in advance
etc. I just worry that I will still have to be in charge, and just
the thought of it is making me exhausted already. I am very
interested in how other Moms have handled this situation and what the
recovery period is really like. I have read that the first 3 weeks
are very difficult, but then it gets better and better everyday. I am
more worried about everyone else than I am about myself. I guess it
is a Mom thing!!
