It will happen if you dread it or not. It will be difficult or easier depending on how much you pay attention to it. My best advice would be to plan something really nice that day. Dinner out with a friend? An outing with your kids? A mani/pedi? Anything to make the day a special one FOR YOU!
When my son was in a coma for 6 weeks - I used to ask them to put me into an induced coma too and wake me when it was over. Because i couldn't STAND it. But , just like you - I had to live through it.
You will be ok. But it's still 5 days away so you need to get busy and make lots of plans. The time will go by much faster that way.
