You have got it @outlander, you have been doing so well up unti now.
You need to keep youself calm, especially since you are about to drive and need your senses for that.
The washing can wait. Someone else will just have to do it. You need to put yourself first @outlander and at the moment the most important person is you.

Wow @outlander
That is a huge amount of washing - like your mother couldn't have done some of that over the weekend?
Sheesh - she is so &%$##% lazy - I have said enough
Anyway - I am sure that other people here will back me up on this - no way can you hang the washing for the next week or so - that will be a decent sized suture line and you must now allow that to be stretched - so yes - your mother will have to deal with the laundry for a few days
But isn't one of your sisters about 14 - how come she doesn't get to help with the washing? I mean - fair's fair - how long have you been doing all of this work?
Still watching

just focus on @outlander what you need to do now, just for the next hour.
You need to drive the kids to the babysitters, drop them off and go to your appointment. Thats all you need to concentrate on.
And you need to be calm to drive.

I understand @outlander
The time is approaching - now is the minute by minute count-down
I know this is scary - I have had this done myself - don't hold your breath though - keep breathing
