Hi Everybody
Thanks for the good wishes . Well I got over on the 30th to Charing Cross to get my bloods done . I met the other woman from N.Ireland at the hospital said hi and all the rest . We were staying at the same hotel the Novotel 1 Shortlands West London it was very nice posh to posh for us riff rafe lol I can`t even think what time we got there . About 5pm I had a cheese and chives sandwich and that's all I ate but I drunk plenty of tea and coffee . Went to bed about 11 pm had a few hours sleep then went to the loo came back and started thinking had a wee cry and went back to sleep , not a bad nights sleep really . Got up about 5.45 Michael went down for breakfast while I got ready . Had a talk to my kids and Steven a few times , it was lovely talking to them on my big day . Well I got a shower I was ripping I couldn't wear my make up , hate being with out it . Waited for a taxi at the lobby it was late . Got to Charing Cross about 1/4 hour late said to the girl sorry and that was the start . I seen them taking the other girl from Belfast down on the bed , I don`t even know what time she went down at . The Anaesthetists Dr Jonathan Cousins came and called me , took me into a wee room and asked all the questions and said he was happy with me and sent me back out . Then the surgeon came out but it wasn`t Mr Ahmed I was a bit put back but Mr Torsten Olbers was really lovely . They had me down for a sleeve because of the heart but I told them that I phoned them a few times to say I wanted a bypass and he said he would be happy to give me one . I started smiling and said thanks very much , I asked when Id be going down and he said I`ll be after the woman that was great didn`t have to wait all day . We were talking to the other people I was trying to talk to everybody and find out all the craic about them and the surgery . The was a fella from London John he got there 10 to 7 and was told his surgery was canciled the day before but he wasn`t told until the day of the surgery lol he had to sit all day to see if they would fit him in but thank God he got done he got a bypass to . We were all sitting talking and this other fella came over and sat down so I said are you getting your surgery to day and he said yes , I said are you from Belfast and he said yes we didn`t see him on the plane . He was looking for a bypass but but they wouldn`t take the chance and he got a sleeve . The nurse came with the robes and said Margaret can you come and get changed , she said can you take everything off well I got changed and went back to sit down for a while . I said to Michael I`ll have to go to the loo and went the nurse came after me and asked where are you going Margaret I told her the loo and went I got in the loo and I forgot to take my pants off , I had to put them under my armpit to save anybody seeing them not a nice sight lol . Then the nurse came and said its your turn now Margaret we walked to the lift and the nurse said to Michael you can`t come down and he give me a hug and that was it . We got out of the lift and walked to the theater the was 6 and I said to myself which door do we go into well it was lucky number 6 . We went in the room and the Anaesthetist was waiting for me he said get into bed and I did it was 10 to 10 on the clock he was trying to get the needles into my veins no luck then bingo 5 to 10 he got it and was putting the stuff in and I woke up in the recovery room by a fellas voice saying wake up Margaret its all over . The Anaesthetist came and said everything went well I couldn`t thank him enough . The fella nurse that woke me up said you can go to the ward now that sounded good to me . When we got out of the lift I seen Michael coming over and said was everything ok and I said yes thank god . They took me to the ward and the nurse asked was I ok and I said yes did I have any pain and I said no I feel great , I said to her I could get up and walk around but she said wait about half an hour and you can then . I phoned the family and Conor, Gaynor and Steven to say I was ok and all went well . I sent some texts sorry for the spelling but the head wasn`t working to good . The nurse came back and said I could get up and walk about I told her I`ll have to put my own nightie and pants on , got them on and went for a walk came back and had a bit of pain and got some painkillers and I was fine . Sorry its a bit long but I`ll finish it tomorrow . Take care .
