Friday!
Well, folks I'm now BANDED! Mr Super and anesthetist came in to talk me through everything, see if I had Questions ect, both were really good, putting me at ease and explaining in detail. Shook their hand and off they popped to get ready. There was 2 or 3 people before me, I had my shower put on theatre gown, my own breeks,I was allowed to keep them on as they were cotton, much better than paper breeks! Nurse collected me, off we walked to theatre. In first room, confirmed my signature on paperwork, went through what would happen in theatre. All fine. Went in, up on to the table/bed, BP monitor on, other wee monitors stuck on me to monitor vital signs. Cannula in the back of my hand, 2nd time lucky, my veins are truely rubbish, always have bother with them! Oxygen mask on, ohhhhh, I nearly forgot, put the paper hat on my Napper! I was out cold in seconds... I was aware someone was talking to me when I came round, asking me questions, which I was able to answer
Taken back to my room where I drifted from sleep to wake for a couple of hours, quite happy, in no pain. When I was a bit more with it, got up made my bed neater, wandered about the room, went to the loo. Started sipping the water from the jug they gave me, now finished, going to ask for more soon. Had a much needed cup of coffee... Delicious! Best coffee EVER! Later on I had a tomato cup a soup, lovely. Probably had too much, either that or pain relief wearing off, had a bit of a dull pain in left hand side, beside one of my glued incisions,, 5 of which I have, they are immaculate, small, very tidy, with no dressing on them, quite amazing actually. Asked if I wanted pain relief, said no, wasn't that bed, wind I think. Had a 'Windeaze' and wandered about. Now on bed watching TV, nodding off, going to ask for a cup of tea, another jug of water, then I'm off to sleep ready to be discharged and my, flight home. Phoned my husband and girls, they were worried but are satisfied I'm good.
