PART 7: NIGHT BEFORE SECOND SURGERY


Night Before Surgery
Posted June 25th, 2013 by Mark Ghiassi

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your kind words and generous donations up to today. This has relieved some of my stress after this week. 
I am finally relaxing tonight and getting my bag packed for the hospital stay.  This is the first time I have had a chance to just sit and type today, so it will be brief. Surgery will take about 3 hours and it starts around 7am. 
Since this is the second surgery, I have mixed emotions. I know how it goes but after meeting with the surgeon yesterday I feel like it is an entirely different process than the first surgery. I feel much better about the techniques this surgeon will be using.  
I am more scared for recovery after surgery and the failure of it. I think because it has taken so long to get to the point of having surgery I am very exhausted mentally. 
I met a friend yesterday who will be having their surgery for the first time and I was able to offer my support to that person and to let them know they will be fine. So by everyone here giving me support, emotionally, I am able to provide someone else with support who needs it. 
Thank you and I will write to all of you after surgery.
Michelle
