today Started by: lizzie

Well today has been a long day. Was admitted at 10am to preston and didnt go down to theatre until 4.30. Although mr mounir and staff were very pleasant and reassuring I wasnt very happy that I was not updated at all on when I would be going down. It was 4 hours before I had to ask as I was actually crawling the walls with boredom. Also wasnt very happy that when mr mounir came in to discuss the surgery, he talked me through the original plan that was made on the first consultation and had completely forgotten about what we had discussed on the second! Obviously had not even read through my notes before coming in and if I wouldnt have mentioned anything he would not have known any different. When it finally came to the time a lovely blonde nurse came in to take me and made me feel really at ease and comfortable, I wish I remembered her name! She talked to me as I was put under. I was very nervous about the anaesthetic as ive never had it before and the thought of it just freaks me out a little. The next thing I knew I was saying ‘im not asleep’ and the lovely nurse assured me that I had already been asleep and it was all done. I went back to my room and chilled, had some toast and coffee and waited around for a while. Mr mounir came in and said he was very happy and after all the usual I was free to go home. I am in no pain whatsoever, a bit stingy when I woke up but thats all. Even in the car I was fine and I didnt need a pillow. I ended up having 415 unders from a 30a. They are such a strange shape at the moment and dont even look that big to be honest but Im sure they will be when they settle. I have pictures to put up but theyre saying they are too large. Can anyone help? Xxx
