Hi Annie , Sorry your so worried . I have had the surgery several times over the last several years and for me the worst part is what it does to my pocketbook. I have always figured that The good Lord has given me a certain number of days and no man can give me anymore or take away what he has given so I have a peace about the outcome of my life.
As for the sleeping part, sometimes I take a benydrl and that helps me sleep. For the getting hungry part the day of surgery this what I do. A couple of days before the surgery I eat lightly and don't let my stomach get way full. It seems like it shrinks it so I don't get as hungry the morning of surgery when I have to fast. Maybe you can try this the week before your surgery to see if it will work for you.
When I think of the catching on fire stuff , I just figure I have a much greater chance of wrecking trying to get thru rush hour traffic in Baltimore than catching on fire !
It is sometimes hard to have peace about the events that are happening in our lives,but my prayer for you is that you do find peace and a good dose of courage to get you where you and the good Lord want you to be in this life. Blessings for you , Rocky
