So it is currently 1:30 am and I just cannot sleep. I’m getting a septoplasty tomorrow and that’s all I’ve been thinking about. I’m actually not as nervous now as I was before, but still worried about how everything will go.
Am I overreacting? Has anybody else felt like this the night before surgery?
Night before and morning of are the worst of the anxiety, and yes it’s normal.
I’ve had my fair share of procedures and even though I’ve learned to focus on the after (feeling better, having better function) that doesn’t stop the jitters from kicking in. This, too, shall pass and it’s all part of the process.
Good luck on your procedure and may you have a speedy recovery. You’ve got this!
