Surgery scares me. Anesthesia terrifies me. In this case it's unavoidable, and once it's done my husband will finally start to heal, but that doesn't make it any less stressful.
Now that we've met with the surgeon and got it scheduled, I'm counting the days until it's done, stocking up on groceries and shampoo, getting things in order before this latest round of getting our lives turned upside down....which meant buying some yarn for a big project I want to cast on. (I'm also planning to buy fabric for a quilt, but not until that sale starts next week.)
Knitting will help. I'm putting together patterns and yarn for waiting room knitting. The plan is to have something very complicated (to keep my mind off of things) and something very simple (in case I can't keep my mind off of things.)

Good luck to your husband. I hope his surgury goes smoothly and he's soon on the road to a complete recovery. How blessed you are to love handwork to keep yourself busy while you w-a-i-t. I'd be plugged into an audiobook, too, if it was me!
Best of luck to you, your husband, and the rest of your family. Needlework and pets are the best in times like these!
Hope all goes well!
Prayers for you and your husband. Hope the waiting time passes quickly and that the recovery time is even faster.
Prayers for hubby
The waiting while a loved one has surgery is so stressful, glad to hear you have a plan. I found putting a bottle of water and an energy bar in my bag was helpful. Our prayers are with your family.
Prayers for you both from Texas.
I will be thinkijng of your husband and you!
Good luck!!!

I hope all goes well with your husband's surgery. And good for you, getting some stuff together to take with you. Sitting there in a hospital is so boring and mind-numbing that having something to do is great. I always see people just sitting there and I wonder how can they do it. Stitching is a great conversation starter too.
Good luck on the surgery. Sounds like you have a plan. The water and energy bar sound like a good idea too.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your husband. Hope all goes well and he can really start to heal and get his life back. I always have a bag ready to go with a couople of projects in it. I stay with my elderly mom and I never know when we have to go to the hospital. Like you, I have a couple of different levels of difficulty with me.
