Nervous about tomorrow

Sunshine88888888 profile image

The night before the op and the nerves have set in ! Realised for one day I won’t be able to use my TV controls, mobile phone and read anything as the vision from one left eye is very poor. I know all will be well just a little shaky, just those little thoughts creeping in as it’s my dominant eye that’s being operated on. Roll on Saturday when I can take the padding off 😊

Good luck for tomorrow, after my last op I thought I would not be able to use remote but managed to switch tv on and change channel the only problem was when I wanted to watched something I had recorded, as I deleted it instead of pressing play!

Ha ha that’s definitely going to happen to me 🤣

Nerves are natural and those nasty little thoughts are hard to get rid off but this time tomorrow it will be over and done with . Sending you big hugs as I know exactly how you must be feeling. Listening to music instead of watching TV is a good idea from Lovemy2woofs. I will be thinking of you x

Hi Sunshine. I understand how you feel as I have been in a similar situation when I had my trabs. I’m sure you will be fine but it is scary I know. Just relax and let your family/friends look after you. All will be well. Hugs xxx

A great song to listen to is Joe Bonamassa - Athens to Athens. Will have you tapping your feet in time to the music and everything else will be forgotten. Very best wishes for a fantastic outcome. Cyber hugs x

Very best wishes to you, all your friends on here are rooting for you, and in a few hours it will be over and done with and firmly in the past ! I was so scared that on the hospital all gowned up, I said to the few staff there if I am making you late to go home and you want an early afternoon, I'm quite happy to go as well ! They thought I was joking, but I was deadly serious lol. You will do just great !

Ah good luck! You’ll be fine. We all know that the thought of it is always worse than the actual event but that doesn’t help when you’re feeling nervous. I downloaded an audio book for my post-op and some podcasts. That got me through. Xx
