Nervous about nothing?

I have basal cell carcinoma, a small streak that starts almost at the tear duct under my left eye. It's being cut out today - such a tiny area but being so close to my eye, in such a thin-skinned area, it's giving me the shakes. I've had a C-section, carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists, but neither made me this nervous! On May 26 I'm having tests to 'rule out' uterine cancer and even that isn't worrying me (yet).

Avoiding my morning coffee as I think I'll just shake even more... silly, aren't I?

Oh, and I'm to be awake and lay there relaxed for the procedure.

Re: Nervous about nothing?

I can relate to everything you are saying Annie. The medics can do almost anything they like to me apart from mess around with my eyes, that terrifies me for some reason, and always has done...

You're not silly at all.

Nervous, yes ... and it's the waiting as these things approach closer that give you the nasty butterfies in the tummy.

I hope all goes well for you ...

Thanks all ... I'm going to nap for an hour if the butterflies let me, then off to the hospital.

Swat those tummy butterflies by not thinking about the hospital ... but thinking about when it's over and what you'll be doing tomorrow.

Dr. had great bedside manner - worst part was the needles for freezing. One eye heavily bandaged and other has wobbly/fuzzy vision so this is it for typing today... back to bed for me.

So pleased it's all done for you, Annie, the best things to do is rest your eyes now.

How long does the eye dressing have stay on for?
