irritable. is this normal?

I've finally got my date through for my hysterectomy. I'm getting surgery on the 29th April now. Since I received my letters last week I have been so irritable and emotional. It seems that the littlest things are bugging me and I am snapping at my family for the last wee thing. To be honest I am rerrified about my surgery but I know it's for the best. I'm scared about the recovery. I'm so worried about constipation as my bowel isn't the best as I had surgery on it few years back for a prolapse. Previously I have been hospitalised for constipation and it doesn't matter what I do, I just really struggle.
Is this normal to be feeling like this?

surgery if you can. Be kind to yourself and let yourself feel your
emotions. So many ladies have gone through what you're going through and what you will go through with your surgery. Take their words of
encouragement of how you will be ok and how they made it through to
Heart. You are not alone.

I love your name, congratulations on getting your date. Mine is happening on Good Friday, and I have been Spring Cleaning and nesting like mad, and thought my nerves were okay, but I went to give Rosie our Shih Tzu her dinner and dropped it all over the floor. Then went to give Hubby his pudding and dropped it in his lap! He! he! what will I do next I ask myself! Aren't nerves a terrible thing? And I think my body has gone into recovery without the op, because I am acting like I cannot bend down, or I keep thinking don't pick that up! Crazy what tricks the mind plays on you!
I know what you mean worrying about the bowel behaving. I am having my bowel and bladder stitched back in place as well as a cystocele. My bowel does tend to play up when messed about with. I am going in armed with Movicol, I usually have one a day but my GP says take 3 a day after surgery and the hyster sisters on this forum all recommend stool softeners so I have them packed and also oil of peppermint drops for the 'gas'. Oh my it sounds like a fun time we are in for! I always make sure I eat a ton of vegetables (luckily I love them) but that does seem to keep the bowel happy! Nothing makes my bladder happy, it is always mad with me but hopefully that will be fixed!
See what a state I am in, I even refer to my bowel and bladder like they are people! Is there any hope!
Hang on it there and I hope your op goes well for you.
Love
Jacqui
