Flashbacks
Hello Gang! My one year anniversary of 5xCABG at the ripe ol' age of 38 (yes, 38!)is coming up on December 17th. I've been doing pretty well. The thing is, I'm now having flashbacks. Has anyone else had this? I'll see a commercial on TV for something (usually holiday related) that I watched in the hospital, and the whole experience will come flooding back. I had to have some minor surgery about three weeks ago and the SMELL of the tape on the IV brought it all back too. I'm starting to dread the holidays. Last year I was released from the hospital on Christmas eve. Although I was thankful to be alive, the whole season SUCKED! LOL What am I supposed to do about this??? I keep telling myself to just "get over it". It's not working. :-s Dana
