Hi Anita
From the day I as diagnosed till surgery was 25 days.
I was in shock initially the first 2 weeks, then it finally lifted the fog I was feeling. From the onset my mindset was to look forward to surgery and to the treatment and to the healing.
I kept saying, get in, get it out, get treatment, get back to life.
That has been my focus. Leading up to surgery, anxiety started to creep in. I continued my prayers..."God did not give me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind"..this helped me a lot.
The day of surgery was in some ways harder but easier than expected. I found many small blessing throughout that day, from the staff, to the unexpected moments of knowing it was all going to be okay and that I needed to just sit back and know that God had his hand on everything that day and also each and every other day in my life.
I listened to some amazing music my daughter had on her phone. Casting Crowns. I listened to 5 or 6 in a row on an album. It was the perfect music for me. The funny thing was I took in all these magazines, books, ipad with movies etc, but ended up listening to this Christian music in the lead up to the surgery and all the pre op procedures and everything was ok.

Smiles and love to you. Also praying for your family and your dog who has been sick...xxx
