Emotions running wild!
Posted , 4 users are following.
hi all, I have my vertical laparotomy on Monday (25th) and I'm starting to get really nervous. It seems the pain is increasing and I'm not sure if it's worry or hormones but my emotions are crazy. Going from happy to angry/sad in a matter of minutes. Did anyone else experience this?

Those feelings sound normal for what your going through. You're allowed to be emotional when experiencing something which is such a big deal. And yes, you probably do have some hormones going a bit funny on top of that. Keep your "eyes on the prize" though - you will have gotten rid of this darn cyst soon!
I had a vertical laparotomy on 25th Feb and I can honestly say that those last few days before surgery (the pain, the waiting, the uncertainty) were by far the worst. I cried in the doctor's office, which is not at all like me. Just not knowing what was going to happen and feeling a bit frustrated and helpless. Once you get into hospital and you can let the surgeons and nurses take care of you, a lot of the anxiety and crazy feelings will go away. Promise.
*Big gentle hugs*
Hang in there, things get a lot better very soon.
