One Week to Pre Op Appointment

Time is flying by.  It's crazy to think that this time next week I will be heading to my Pre-Op appointment with my surgeon!  So many thoughts.  So many feelings.  I can say that right now my feelings are mostly anxious ones.  I'm not scared or worried....just anxious.  Impatiently waiting.  Making lots of lists to help occupy my time!

I am also trying to manage my own internal expectations of the surgery outcome.  I have no idea what to expect, but I don't want to  build false hope to some mental image I've created.  So...I'm doing a lot of self checking!  Gotta keep my mind right!

I also started a 30 Day Plank Challenge to build up my core muscles.  I've read that having a strong core helps with recovery time because the body will be using all muscle to maintain post op.  So this what I am doing.  I am currently at day 10.  Definitely feeling a difference.  Good stuff!
