pre ops

[mandyl]

hi
can anyone tell me what happens at pre ops?
bit worried about the mrsa swab as i was in hospital last week. sorry if im being silly. xx

Of course you're not being silly Mandy.:hug99: At the pre op they will simply take your BP, bloods, ECG and maybe a lung function test. The MRSA swabs are nothing to worry about - they just put little cotton buds in your nostrils (not right up, just around the edge) and in the crease at the top of your leg. It's all very quick. When I went we chatted the whole way through and it was very casual and friendly. It's not often you get a full MOT so its all very reassuring. Take care, Mxx
