So sorry to see you here, @Peacefuldove - but you are at the right place for support and info. If you have ANY questions at all, no matter how trivial you may think it - put them up & someone will reply to them, to assist you.
Just take one day at a time - see how you are following the surgery. If you are up to it - being with others on Xmas Day may be a good thing - I find that being busy & 'doing stuff' stops me from pondering too much & getting a fit of the miseries if I am on my own or 'not busy'.
Take care, yes, it will be hard, but you have your family & friends to help you thru it. If any of your friends ask how they can help? Maybe suggest they cook a meal or two for the family, so that pressure is taken off you? Or even take your dogs for a walk .... anything that will help you out.
Whereabouts 'roughly' do you live - we may have members nearby who can help you with services that are available in your area?
All the best for your surgery - we'll be thinking of you xxx More hugs coming your way!
