Just keep swimming...

I find myself attempting to write this blog and failing. My nerves have kicked into over drive and even the medication that I was given to ease my nerves isn't working. Just 3 more days and the hard parts over is what I am telling myself over and over again in my head. It is not currently working though...

I am struggling with the fact that these emotions are okay. I feel like I am crying too much, but then I remember "Hey Taylor, you're having incredibly scary surgery in 3 days and crying is allowed."

I had full intentions of writing this awesome blog about these fabulous pajamas that my aunt bought me today that will be incredibly useful, how I had a second interview for an awesome job in the midst of this chaos, and how my dog has not left my side because he knows that I am nervous, but I can't! 

No song again, but here is my side kick, Presley, making sure I know that I am loved, by sleeping on my feet. He hasn't laid in my bed for more than 5 minutes his entire life and he laid with me for hours today. Try to tell me dogs don't know whats going on... pshhhh. 

Catch everyone tomorrow after my pre-admission testing to tell you all of these things and explain what in the world pre-admission testing entails.





And hey, thanks for sticking through the days where I am too emotional to say anything of substance! You are getting the raw emotions of a 24-year-old on system overload.

  3. Don't be too hard on yourself! Girl you have a big job ahead and you will make it! But it is scary - but just like when you are little and afraid of the dark or bugs or whatever - those who love you will help you get past the scary stuff and keep moving forward. You have awesome parents, family and friends to support you - Prayers for peace, courage and warp speed into the future! You are amazing! <3

  4. Taylor, what you're experiencing is completely normal. Nerves are part of the drill. As I mentioned to you previously, my 26-year-old daughter had her PBM this past January. She had a whole range of emotions. The anticipation was the worst part. You're doing great. I think it's awesome that you're able to share your feelings, which will allow you to heal emotionally from this whole ordeal. Chin up buttercup, almost there!
