I’m stressing out, I’m due to go into hospital on Tuesday for a mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction, but I’ve come down with a cold, my covid test is negative so that’s a plus, but I’m stressing that they won’t operate because of my cold. The stress is making it hard to sleep, my acid reflux is acting up because of the stress, so the pain from that is keeping me awake as well.
It’s a vicious cycle that I can’t seem to get out of, I’m going to phone the pre op team on Monday to see what they say about my cough and cold, but if they say no to the surgery I’m not sure how I’ll cope, the last month has been stressful for many reasons and this surgery was an end point to cling to and a step towards getting my life back.
Sorry for the long rant I just needed to vent.
