Hello sweetie xxx I would be happier if you had someone going with you.
I also hope you can stay overnight at least one night before trying to travel home as you might be feeling rough x

Hello, my tip is take some cotton pants so you don't have to wear those awful paper pants!
I found the surgery part was all over and done with really quick, you will be back home before you know it.
Good luck! x

Hope all goes well for you. Check our hospital list, to make sure you don`t forget anything!

Get yourself a kids plastic sippy cup to drink from, it will help prevent the wind problems that some may have.

Take care hun x









Love Kat x
