Working you up for the worse...

[Guest guest]

justg wondering how common it is to donate your own blood. It seems that a ot

of people on this group go through a lot more than i did in prep for the

surgery. Not to drum down the seriousness of anyones case, we are all going

through/went through major surgery here but don't some of you feel the doctors

really work you up for the worse? I know my surgery was supposed to be

intermediate-major work, but when i see the very little prep i went through

compared to most it makes me wonder. Also, the doctors didnt play down the

seriousness for me, but they didnt make me feel like I was goign through a heart

transplant or anything. most of my fear was thigns that I conjred up myself,

and now in heinsight (three days of heinsight) i was sily for worrying about it.

My operation thus far was a breeze compared to what I expected.

I didn't expect to be able to breath well when i came-to, but i think i breathed

better through my nose then than I have in the past 2 years. Honestly, the

hardest part at this point is not being able to talk to my friends (other than

online, which is a pain in the rear) and the constant hunger. but that is cured

pretty fast when I think back to the porkchop my mom blended for me the other

day..

Just take it easy peeps, this thingis a breeze. The docs, nurses, anethesist,

or staff everyone was so good to me adn im sure they will be to you. If they

arent good to you from the get go start considering another surgeon.
