Hi Rose and welcome to the group. I am sorry that you're doing so poorly but, frankly, w/ what you're going thru I'd wonder what was wrong if you were not concerned. Many of us feel the same way you do. You do not say what kind of surgery, but if that's on purpose, no problem. We can still keep good thoughts for you. My Teddy Bear is praying for you, and he's been getting good results. Remember one thing: you do not have to go thru this alone. We are here to offer support except in the middle of the night, and I am often on then along w/ a few stragglers. Tonight, however, I will be sleeping in the chair from hell again if I don't go to bed soon, and my back gets very angry w/me when I sleep in this chair. I've finally realized that the continual need for sleep and some other great problems I could do w/o point to a major fibro flare - which triggers a long list of other other problems. on as much as I can, and I always look in at some point each day. You are going thru so much. Please feel free to send me a pm if you want to talk. I've had a lot of surgery in my time. Since I don't know what yours is, I don't know if I missed that one or not, but I do know how frightening surgery is, and hope that you'll get thru it w/ as few problems as possible. I suggest, sweetie, that you go along w/ your body and do what it ssks for during the wait - which is often the worst part. If you need to cry, don't try to fight w/ yourself. Cry. We all do that in varying degrees, often based on why we are crying. But fighting for control of your body right now is, IMO, not going to help. Feelings are meant to be felt, and we deal w/ them in whatever way we think is best for ourselves at any time. Please don't allow others to make your decisions or tell you what's good for you and what isn't. Which is not to say that we often get good advice, pointers, opinions worth considering; but what falls in what category for you is not something anyone but you can decide. Just remember, you are not alone. I hope you'll let us know how you do as time goes on. And for this week, let your body rule your mind. They allegedly work together nicely. Not sure what I can add. I am falling asleep and saw your post. Again, I've been thru a lot of surgery and have suffered depression, off and on for (this keeps blowing my mind)more than 60 years. It's getting easier to say. Good luck, and please keep us updated when you feel up to it. Hopefully I will catch you in the next couple of days. For now I have to shut down and get thru my evening abluions. Warm welcoming wishes, Sylvia 'I didn't have time to write a short [post].' Mark Twain wrote that one for me. LOL

NOTE: I can't imagine anyone is surprised that distracted driving has overtaken drunk driving as the number one cause of death on the road. Please, y'all, keep your eyes sharp when you drive. The guy in the next car could be on a computer in the dash board (whoever dreamed that up should have to watch autopsies), while the one behind you is texting. It's important to be aware of those around you. The kid who ended my second to last life was in a huge SUV and on the telephone.
