Night Before Surgery Thoughts

I'm sitting here, listening to every possible emo-esque song on my iTunes, silently crying into my glass of "clear fluids" (aka water) that I can only drink for two more hours. I am freaking out about surgery in the morning. Not even necessarily because I feel that something will go wrong in surgery. No. I have faith in Dr. G.

No.

I'm scared of the results. I know that I should have faith that everything will be okay. But, sometimes faith is really freaking hard, guys. I had faith that my body would be healthy in general. So far, that's not the case in anything that I've experienced in the past three years. I'm twenty-five with the kidney of someone far older in age. My uterus hates me and is rebelling. I don't want to think about any of the possibilities that could come with the results of surgery. But I do. I try to think positive. For example, I've been charting and temping even though surgery will throw us off whack just so I could get into the habit for when we receive good news. Right? Good news.

God tests me a lot. And sometimes I just don't want to be tested. I just want something to be easy. I want this surgery to be a success. I want an easy answer from the results that is fixed in a short amount of time. I want to conceive the first month that we try. I want a totally uneventful pregnancy; no bed rest, no preterm labor. I want to go into labor on my own (no induction for pre-e) and to experience labor without medication. I want a successful breastfeeding relationship. And I want my kidney to heal and/or not give me any problems anymore.

I know that's asking too much and that I should be grateful for what I have... which is so much more than others have. I know. I sound selfish tonight. But all I really want is to cuddle up wiht my Husband and have him tell me that, no matter the results, he'll still love me. Forever.

But he's at work. And I'm alone.

You'll be in my prayers :)

I don't know the whole story Jenna, but I've been through plenty of surgeries and I understand how frustrating it can be when your body isn't cooperating with you. I just wanted to tell you that I'll be praying for you too, tonight and tomorrow....,we're here for you! Try to get you as much sleep as you can, your body will need it with the stress you're experiencing right now.

The doctors didn't find anything absolutely horrid which is good in itself. I do, however, have to go through another bunch of "fun" testing to find the reasons behind all of this. Our plans to TTC the Next New Hatfield have been put on hold for, at least, three months. I'm kind of heart broken about that but glad that there are no aliens in my uterus.

On to the next phase.

Glad things are ok...

Jenna,

I am glad you are doing ok today. I understand having to go through tests and prodding and your body not doing what a woman's body is supposed to. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Hoping you find the answers you need soon so you can get back on the family-building wagon. Glad there were no aliens...but how bout gnomes? I know personally its harder to have no answers than hard answers that you can work to deal with..
