[quote=Anonymous]OP my 3 year old had to have surgery this summer and I was a wreck prior to the surgery. It's hard enough to deal with this during normal times, but covid really added to the stress. In our case, only one person was allowed in the hospital, and we had no child care for our other child, so I was there by myself. Some random advice: -- I basically watched all of Schitt's Creek during this time. I got Netflix on my phone and brought a charger with me to the hospital. It really worked to distract me. -- I was a wreck up until going to the hospital, but once I was there, I was magically calmer. -- Pack a ton of snacks and force yourself to eat. I didn't want to leave the waiting area and had no one to run and grab food for me. -- Know this. Once it's over, you'll be okay. You will breathe again. Thinking of you and sending hugs. This is hard. [/quote]
