Hello!
My admission time was 2pm in Preston and I have to say I was pretty gutted too as I too wanted to get up and go, I was really frightened and had worked myself up into a bit of a state the few days before.
I set my alarm a little earlier so that I could have something to eat and drink before the cut off so I had a great big bacon butty and a cup of tea (I was really thankful for this later on!)
The morning when pretty fast and I was strangely calm. I watched TV, had a shower and washed my hair and we set off about 1230pm.
I got to the hospital just before 2 and from then it when really fast, people are in and out of your room, checking notes, blood pressure, marking you up, etc. I have my cannula put in in my room too. I chilled out and watch TV and even managed a little nap on the bed with my boyfriend 🙂 I was taken to theatre at about 4.30pm and was back in my room by 6pm. I slept on and off for a few hours, had some tea and toast and was on my way home by 10.30pm. It wasn’t so bad hun so don’t worry, the day goes really fast I promise. The good thing about having a later admission time is that when you get home that night the anaesthetic and pain relief are still working so you get a good night sleep xx
