Hi all
well as the title says 36 hours to go until my surgery. getting a little scared about it now, been looking forward to it for so long but it is finally here and has come around so quickly. I put all my affairs in order just in case anything goes wrong, even picked out the songs for my funeral lol. left a sealed letter with a good mate in the even of my demise.
going to GP in the morning to see if i can get some more time on workers comp, very stressed out, I can't go out on my own to a shopping centre as the anxiety just wells up inside and i just want to explode. yesterday while i was out with my son I saw the lady that abused me and caused all these problems for me. i did the right thing and didn't unload on her.
have a great day/evening everyone
Stay safe, I will let you all know how the surgery goes
God bless

You probably already know this, but t's totally normal to be a bit scared at this point. I'm impressed with how thorough you've been in your planning - - - did you think of setting up a surgery buddy? (someone from here at DS you can text/call so they can update us?)
Can't wait to celebrate your journey towards being the healthiest version of you!

Regarding intense emotions, I'd like to suggest that you get on YouTube and search either EFT (emotional freedom technique) or tapping. Same time, different terms. The technique is based on accupressure sites on the upper torso and head. Many of us have discovered that tapping on those points when in the midst of a strong emotion works to relieve the emotional pressure. I know, weird. But it works, so it's in my bag of tricks. It might help you as well. :)
my GP gave me another certificate, which means i will get paid for my recovery, yay. less than 24 hours to go now but who is counting lol
