Crying

[Nicnac_]

I'm scared I'm gunna cry like a baby on my way to theatre - not with that I don't want to it mind - feel like I'm brimming with emotions excitement/nerves/fear!

Any one else felt emotional going to theatre?

I cried whilst I was lying on the table and asked them to look after me. I'm sure they see it every day with elective surgery. It's normal to be nervous x

I was very emotional when I was laying on the table. I walked to theatre by myself, as they wouldn't let my partner stay with me. I don't think I have ever felt so alone in my entire life.

I had a little blub in my room before they came to take me to theatre. It's a big step and can be overwhelming x

They wouldn't let mine stay on the ward with me at Derby, as it was a single sex ward. I'm sure it's different at other hospitals

I won't allowed my partner with me either but the staff were brilliant. I was first down to surgery so I didn't have to wait long and I held it together right up until going in to theatre then I just cried and cried and I couldn't stop. The staff were brilliant and calmed me down an didn't start till I was ready. After surgery when I went up to the ward at night the young girl who looked after me in theatre came to see me after her shift had finished to see how I was. I really did feel looked after, and they said people get emotional all the time. Don't worry it's a big thing you are doing but it will also be the best thing. Good luck xx

I don't know if its just me but I was ok all the way through. I asked my wife just to drop me off and go home to our son. There was nothing she could so for me but the most important thing was that she was at home with our wee boy making sure things were as normal as possible for him.

I totally expected to get emotional when I checked in again on surgery day but, *touch wood*, I was ok and was more excited than anything else.

I suppose everyone handles things differently, I also refused to write any letters or cards before surgery, as far as I was concerned it was 'see you soon' and not 'goodbye' when I was dropped off.
