Hand hold please

[Redmarchingband]

Feeling a bit silly writing this, but I need a hand hold or a kick up the bum (not sure which!). I’m having major surgery in a fortnight and will likely be off work for a little while. I know I’m lucky to have the opportunity to have the surgery but in the last week or so, I’ve started to feel incredibly sad and anxious and I can’t seem to shake it. I’ve told DH how I feel and he has been very kind and reassuring, as always, but I’m not sure why I’m feeling this way so it’s hard to talk about, if that makes sense? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated

Surgery is scary there is no doubt about that, can you tell us a bit about it , someone on here is bound to of had the same procedure so they will be able to explain what you can expect.

Surgery is scary and it is normal to feel as you do. Inearly cancelled mine but the nurse took time to sit with me and talk me through everything, from exactly what would happen pre op to being back on the ward. Allow yourself to feel anxious, it is the minds way of coping
