Surgery nerves

The nerves for surgery is starting to get to me -3 days out and I’m starting to doubt if I get myself to walk through the 🏥 hospital door in days time…what else can i do beside meditation ?

  1. I definitely know how pre-surgery nerves feel! Honestly, while I love meditation, sometimes that can be very hard to do when I’m nervous about something like a surgery. What I like to do instead is to distract myself with something like watching funny (or scary) movies, cooking elaborate meals, or going on walks listening to audiobooks — without the book playing, I’d just think about the surgery..lol. I also ask my friends to meet me for a walk or coffee to talk about ANYTHING but the upcoming surgery. Good luck with your surgery and know we’re here anytime you need to chat! - Keri (patient leader)
