Im wanting to do l we tter for my loved ones incase the worst happens but I just cant bring my self to do it at the moment

It's scary but amazing what you are doing.
Can I ask what the pre-op involved please?
In ref to letters, I would write them but in a positive way. You are going to worry anyway hun and I think it would make me feel better knowing I'd written them. Good luck xxx

For the pre op first they had me filling in a health history questionnaire. The nurse then measured my height, weight and blood pressure. She then took swabs from my nose annd groin area testing to see if im a carrier of MRSA. I then went to see another nurse who went other my medical history and then a was sent to have blood tests done. Nothing to it really. X
